USING OPERATIONS RESEARCH TECHNIQUES FOR MINIMUM COST PROCUREMENT

Abstract

PART I, Building and using linear programming models: Chapter 1, Introduction to operations research. Chapter 2, Building linear programming models: (1) Details of the concepts underlying linear programming; specifications for the precise mathematical nature of linear programming; presentation of a step-by-step method of model building; (2) illustration of the principles underlying linear programming by showing how they apply to a particular problem, the least cost procurement problem for 0.45-caliber ammunition. PART II, Nonlinear programming: Chapter 3, Solving nonlinear programming problems, with an example of a single total requirement for a certain number of rounds of 7.62-mm (NATO-round) ammunition.
