Measurements of Military Essentiality

Abstract

One of the major unsolved military logistics problems of the past twenty years has been the search for an objective, rational method to consider military essentiality in the preparation of budgets, procurement plans and allowance lists for parts and components. Underlying each stock control policy (e.g., reorder point, safety level, reorder quantity) is an assumed or implied value of the military essentiality or worth of the part or component to which it applies. The report describes a method which will allow military essentiality to be weighed objectively in budgets and procurement plans for repairable or recoverable components.
