Some Statistical Problems in Logistics Research and Military Decision Processes.

Abstract

The present paper discusses some problems of large systems logistics and tactical decision processes which require the development of the proper statistical theories and methods. The discussion is focused on three problem areas: statistical control of two-echelon multi-station inventory systems; statistical manpower forecasting and survival distributions in crossing minefields. The discussion is general but specific numerical examples are provided to illustrate the ideas. (Author)
