IUID Benefits Expected
DoD’s IUID policy was designed to help the defense community –
- Save taxpayer dollars through increased productivity and efficiency:
- Provide improved item visibility for the warfighter for operational planning
- Lower the total life-cycle costs of items acquired and managed
- Provide item visibility regardless of the weapon system or who owned the item
- Supply item data needed for top-level logistics and engineering analysis
- Facilitate issuance of a clean audit opinion as required by the 1990 Chief Financial Officers' Act by providing an accurate data source for determining value and accountability of property and equipment
- Improve access to historical item data across the life cycle from system design to disposal

Famous quotes containing the words benefits and/or expected:
“Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
