The Defense Logistics Agency manages $40 billion in inventory across 25,000 military parts. But a new initiative called 'Retail Resupply' is trying to cut delivery times from weeks to days by contracting with commercial logistics giants like FedEx and UPS. Lucas and Luna break down how the Pentagon is applying just-in-time inventory principles to tank treads and turbine blades, why Northrop Grumman's stock dipped 3.4% last week amid supply chain concerns, and whether the military can ever truly ditch its Cold War stockpile mentality. They also explore how the shift mirrors Amazon's own logistics revolution — but with nuclear submarines and fighter jets instead of plastic toys. A tight, specific look at one of the least sexy but most consequential corners of defense spending: the parts that keep things running. #DefenseLogistics #PentagonSupplyChain #RetailResupply #JustInTime #FedEx #UPS #NorthropGrumman #LMT #MilitaryParts #BusinessAndTechnology #DefenseTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GovernmentContracting #Aerospace #MilitaryTech #InventoryManagement #SupplyChainInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
