Analytic and Decision Support (A&DS)
Abstract
R&D efforts undertaken to develop and implement advanced analytical tools, modeling, and simulation of logistics and supply chain processes. These tools will improve DLA forecasting and procurement strategy decisions and lead to faster and more flexible response to emerging market and customer requirements. Currently there are three major analytical thrusts: Planning Processes, Medical Supply Chain, and Distribution/Disposition. Planning processes model and simulate item and customer demand patterns to improve customer support, lower inventories and acquisition costs, and acquisition lead-times for hardware (Class IX items). Medical Supply Chain Modeling will provide DLA the capability to integrate DLA logistics data and commercial data with satellite and political maps; it will automate for DLA Medical planners the ability to identify entities such as suppliers, customers and vendor distribution centers to enhance spatial awareness of incidents such as catastrophic events and military contingencies. The Distribution/Disposition thrust will develop, and implement analytical tools, models, and simulations of logistics and supply chain processes related to distribution and disposition.
