Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Bahrain is the first DLA site outside the continental United States to deploy the new warehouse management system and the first distribution center to go live a day earlier than planned. The Bahrain team worked diligently to ensure all work was processed in the former distribution standard system, allowing for an early transition to the new commercial, off-the-shelf software that offers benefits ranging from improved productivity to streamlined processes.

“The successful WMS implementation is just the beginning of how DDNB will leverage technology to improve our customer centric service and develop our workforce to help sustain the warfighter,” Navy Cmdr. John Olabode, DDNB Commander, said.
