Optimal Allocation of Budget Dollars Among Materiel Procurement Programs: A Mathematical Programming Model for Optimum Planning Over Time. Volume I. Model Description and Use.
Abstract
This report concludes a series of research studies in the area of optimal allocation of resources by means of mathematical programming techniques. The technique has several significant attributes: time-phased acquisition and deposition of resources are explicitly considered. Nonlinear non-convex constraints (and objective functions) are possible. The model has been successfully demonstrated on a major problem issue (the Materiel Procurement Priorities Review Committee, or MPPRC, deliberations in 1974) and has been turned over to an Army user group, the US Army Concepts Analysis Agency (CAA). Volume I of the report presents a development of the problem structure and special algorithmic features. It includes a user's manual for operation of the computer program for the IBM 360/370 series of computers. Volume II describes the adaptation of the model to the CAA computer, the UNIVAC 1108.
