ORDNANCE LOGISTICS STUDIES; IV: DISCUSSION NOTES FOR OPERATING SUPPLY PERSONNEL ON MATHEMATICAL METHODS OF SUPPLY CONTROL.
Abstract
A portion of the research done at the Operations Research Center has consisted of developing new mathematical methods for the control of inventories. The objective of this work has been two-fold: namely, (1) in the theoretical mathematics constructed to accept whatever degree of mathematical sophistication appeared to emerge naturally as being required, (2) to develop the resulting methods to the point of practical usefulness sufficient to ensure their use by non-mathematically oriented personnel conducting the actual supply operation. As a result, an important fraction of the effort of the research staff has been devoted to working personally with the operating supply people.
