Abstract

The paper gives a definition of machine models and their uses in logistic planning and experimentation. As examples, a general description is given of a man-machine model, and of the Missile Support Model. This description covers such areas as: (1) The purpose of these models. (2) The general procedure used in creating the models. (3) The trouble areas found in this creative period. (4) The results obtained from the running of the models. (5) The trouble areas found in the running of the models. (6) Other possible uses of models, such as a means of training on a managerial level.
