A Simulation Study of the Effects of Applying Variable Safety Levels in a Medical Inventory System.

Abstract

The objective of this thesis was to model the USAF Medical Material Management System and to study the effects of the incorporation of a variable safety level. The variable safety level technique employed was the mean absolute deviation of demands. Due to the complex nature of the study it was decided that this system could best be modeled by using computer simulation. The USAF Medical Material Management System is described and the techniques required to incorporate a variable safety level were outlined.
