An Assessment of Computational Procedures to Determine Requirements of Critical and Strategic Materials.

Abstract

This paper is an assessment of the adequacy and accuracy of the computational procedures used to determine the requirements for critical and strategic materials during a mobilization. Emphasis is placed on assessing the adequacy of the economic assumptions underlying the computational procedures and in testing the accuracy of the resulting projections. Alternative models such as the INFORUM forecasting model were used to provide points of comparison. (Author)
