Development of Cost Parameters and Inventory Level Decisions at DSUs (Direct Support Units),
Abstract
The Condensed Army Stock Plan Analyzer (CASPAR) Model, developed earlier by LMI, was revised and modified, to permit economic stockage decisions at Army Direct Support Units (DSUs) using a stockout cost imputed from customer specifications of minimum required service levels. The report outlines necessary changes to permit use of CASPAR, including cost-to-hold and cost-to-order. Evaluation of data resources revealed that available DSU data can be used to estimate values of the independent variables, for subsequent use in solution of the multiple regression model. (Author)
