Expeditionary Logistics Analysis for Decision Support

Abstract

The research objectives are to investigate and design integrated mathematical models---collectively known as the Military Logistics Network Planning System (MLNPS)---capable of supporting relevant logistical planning and decision-making in near-real time using data that would exist on the US Army ERP system (GCSSArmy).This includes a ``test drive" or ``what if" capability to estimate the performance of a given logistics plan. The other related but different aspect is to mathematically identify feasible logistics plans given desired sustainment network performance (capacity planning). Of particular interest is these must be performed under uncertainty and the application requires quantifying associated risks and uncertainties.
