Our latest insights

Supply Chain Risk Management | A data-driven approach to protecting your agency
Threats to U.S. government supply chains have evolved as disruptions have increased and become more visible. In response, new guidance and mandates have been put in place to assist federal agencies in managing supply chain risk. KPMG has developed an end-to-end Supply Chain Risk Management approach to assist organizations with meeting the challenges to effectively address supply chain risk.
KPMG smart warehouse and smart depot
Smart warehouse and smart depot approaches improve inventory accuracy and accountability with RFID and robotic input, reduce manpower, and increase warehouse capacity with faster responses, and improved mission readiness. Our framework can be a guide to begin turning your smart base vision into reality.
5G Smart Warehouse Prototype
This paper explores the options available to state and local governments to accelerate the integration between healthcare and social programs with the objective of better addressing social determinants of health and improving overall efficacy and quality of the patient care continuum.
Guardian Culture
The U.S. Space Force is responsible for organizing, training, and equipping Guardians to conduct global space operations that enhance how our joint and coalition forces fight; and offer decision-makers military options to achieve national objectives. Establishing a Guardian Culture is critical to the success of the force and their missions.


 



 

Smart bases for more resilient military operations

A smart base integrates base operations so sensors, data, and predictive technology can connect with individuals to enable human-machine teaming and data-driven decisions.


 


 

5G poised to transform defense logistics

Defense agencies can use 5G to more precisely manage their supply chains and warehouse logistics. The ongoing modernization of the U.S. Marine Corps’ inventory management system offers a glimpse of 5G’s potential impact.


 



 

Lead with 5G innovation

KPMG is ready to help U.S. Military agencies achieve leap-ahead capabilities and game-changing outcomes by integrating 5G and smart technologies to deliver a fully-connected warehouse.
