User's Manual for the Item Acquisition/Production Trade-Off Model. Cold Base Version.

Abstract

The JCAP Item Acquisition/Production Trade-Off Model is a computerized decision model written in the FORTRAN, MPSX, and COBOL computer languages. The model is designed to develop an optimum cost-readiness relationship for an end item considering all available trade-off options that might meet requirements specified by logistics guidance. The model uses integer programming to identify specific optimum cost-readiness points either by maximizing readiness for a given cost or by minimizing cost for a given readiness. This volume contains: A detailed description of the input variables required to run the programs, how the variables are entered on the input cards, and how the cards are arranged in the deck; Output information available from the model; A sample problem with input and output; and Appendices with additional information on data collection to include definitions, sources, and coding documents.
