Abstract: Abstract Defence procurement is a multi-criteria decision problem and a large part of a Department of Defence (DoD) annual budget. For example, in the fiscal year 2009, contract obligations for the US DoD included $370 billion for defence-related supplies and services [3], and in Great Britain the respective amount for 2011–2012, was 20.1 billion pounds (UK NAO-National Audit Office (2013), Improving Government Procurement, London, United Kingdom). This paper develops a procedure for the evaluation/improvement of the ordering process in Military Critical Items to help procurement personnel report quickly and accurately to the Hierarchy of an agency/company. In this attempt, Perfect Order (PO) concept, Principal Component Analysis and Multivariate EWMA control chart were combined onto real data collected from members of the Armed Forces with the required confidentiality.
