An Evaluation of the Area Support/Wholesale Management Concept for Resupply of Current Retail Inventory.

Abstract

This study compares the costs and service level effectiveness associated with several alternative resupply systems. Each of these alternatives systems, characterized by more emphasis on centralization, is compared to the decentralized scheme currently in use at several Naval Supply Centers. These centralized schemes all employ the notion of an Area Naval Support Center and are motivated by the belief that replacing of the current 'pull'/retail system by a vertically-managed 'pull'/wholesale system will offer considerable economies, both in the inventory and personnel areas.
