CMMI is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their performance.

LSO delivers products and services that sustain global, mission-critical logistics efforts. A CMMI maturity Level 3 demonstrates LSO's commitment to deliver continuous improvement for our customers.
