How Did C5MI Implement SAP WMS at DLA’s DDSP Facility?
The Jacksonville, Florida- based company shared that their highly coordinated execution approach maintained stability during this high‐visibility transition with a scalable support structure, deploying up to 75 specialists during peak activity. Providing stabilization improved visibility and streamlined validations while refined exception‐handling practices supported a consistent operating rhythm following rollout, reinforcing reliability across the DDSP site. As the system normalized, the team established a predictable cadence for long‐term operational advancement.
“[WMS roll-out at] DDSP was the result of years of disciplined preparation and brought understandable anxiety, but success came from strong partnerships, clear communication, and a team unwilling to let assumptions shape the outcome. This approach remains vital as WMS moves toward full operational capability,” stated Josh Haas, DLA WMS portfolio manager.
Chief Operating Officer Derek Dyer shared the sentiment, stating that the partnership between C5MI and government stakeholders from DLA J6 and Distribution Services drove the successful WMS deployment.
