The Optimizing Aviation Supply Distribution (MALSP II) Study

Abstract

This project employs modeling and simulation in an effort to assess various aspects of the MALSP II doctrine currently in development. MALSP II leverages recent innovations in information technology, logistics chain management, and continuous process improvement in order to improve logistical support to deployed Marine air assets. The model developed in this project is a Discrete Event Simulation, implemented in Java using the SimKit programming libraries. It is employed to specifically analyze aspects of MALSP II doctrine; however, it is sufficiently flexible to analyze various aspects of Legacy MALSP concepts as well.
