ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The aim of the article is to present the modernization of the process of issuing uniforms and equipment for officer cadets. The research problem was defined: What factors have the greatest impact on the effectiveness of the process of issuing uniforms to cadets? The research hypothesis was also defined: The modernization of the uniform process through implementation of new technical solutions significantly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of distribution within military educational institutions.
Methods:
The article was developed using theoretical research methods, including the analysis of military regulations, logistics documentation, and specialist literature. Empirical methods were also applied, such as a diagnostic survey and interviews with officer cadets, logistics personnel, and administrative staff. Direct observations of the uniform issuance process were used to identify key challenges and implemented improvements.
Results:
The analysis of the collected data made it possible to identify the main directions of modernization in the process of issuing uniforms for officer cadets. The study highlights the introduction of digital tools, improved inventory management systems, standardized procedures, and enhanced coordination between logistics units and training institutions. These changes contributed to reduced processing time.
Conclusions:
The modernization of the uniform process significantly improves the functioning of the military logistics subsystem within officer training institutions. Efficient and well-organized logistic support ensures timely and adequate equipping of officer cadets, which directly affects the quality of training and readiness for service. Continuous improvement of procedures and the use of modern logistics solutions are essential to meet the evolving needs of the armed forces.
