Savunma Lojistiği Kapsamında Askeri Kontratçı Firmaların Vizyon ve Misyon İfadelerinin Lojistik Temelinde İncelenmesi

Öz

Silahlı kuvvetler, ülkelerin iç güvenliğini sağlamak ve ülke dışından gelebilecek tehditleri ortadan kaldırmak adına önemlidir. Milli güvenlik konusunda uzmanlaşma yoluna giden kuvvetler, bazı faaliyetlerini savunma lojistiği kapsamında askeri kontratçı firmalarla iş birliği yaparak gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu iş birliğinden elde edilen faydanın maksimize edilebilmesi için stratejik planlama ve yönetim konusunda uyumlu bir çalışma ortamının, ortak amaç ve beklentilerin olması önemlidir. Dolayısıyla bu konunun önemli göstergelerinden olan misyon ve vizyon ifadelerinin savunma lojistiği faaliyetleri ve süreçleriyle uyuşması beklenmektedir. Buradan yola çıkarak çalışmada, askeri kontratçı firmaların misyon ve vizyon ifadeleri incelenmiştir ve savunma lojistiğine vurgu yapılıp yapılmadığının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada 242 askeri kontratçı firma incelenmiştir. Bulgulara göre firmaların %40’ına yakınının savunma lojistiği ifadelerine yer vermediği saptanmıştır. Diğer işletmelerde ise “savunma”, “imalat yönetimi” ve “doğru ürün” ifadelerinin sıklıkla yer aldığı görülmüştür.

Investigation of Vision and Mission Statements of Military Contracting Firms on the Basis of Defense Logistics

Öz

The armed forces are important to ensure the internal security of the countries and to eliminate the threats that may come from outside the country. The forces, which specialize in national security, carry out some of their activities in cooperation with military contracting companies within the scope of defense logistics. To maximize the benefit from this cooperation, it is important to have a harmonious working environment, common goals and expectations in strategic planning and management. Therefore, it is expected that the mission and vision statements, which are important indicators of this subject, are compatible with defense logistics activities and processes. From this point of view, in this study, the mission and vision statements of military contracting companies were examined, and it was aimed to evaluate whether there was an emphasis on defense logistics. In the study, 242 military contracting firms were examined. According to the findings, it was determined that nearly 40% of the companies did not include defense logistics statements. On the other hand, it has been observed that the expressions of "defense", "manufacturing management" and "correct product" are frequently used in other businesses.
