A MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE ON METRIC-MULTI-ECHELON TECHNIQUE FOR RECOVERABLE ITEM CONTROL,
Abstract
A shorter, informal, nontechnical version of AD-645 684, describes the mathematical model of a base-depot supply system for recoverable items of the kind that represent almost 80 percent of the Air Force's investment in spares. METRIC-generated cost-effectiveness curves should be of great help in defending budget requests. The use of more parameters, including unit cost, and a more sophisticated measure of demand prediction for low-demand items should provide better stockage decisions. The use of one standard procedure for both requirements and distribution should help in solving many of the pressing interface problems. (Author)
