Optimized Spare Parts Inventory Management for Military Deployment

Abstract

In participation with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) the German Armed Forces provide a German operation contingent to support the NATO Response Force (NRF). Therefore, a camp for accommodation, food supply, medical care, spare parts, and more has to be available. Such a camp is restricted in weight and size in order to be quickly movable in an upcoming deployment situation. To ensure an optimal use of such a restricted camp, this thesis introduces the optimization program Optimizing software for Spare Parts Inventory (tOPSPIN) to optimize the storage of a warehouse for an upcoming deployment situation.
