Analysts' 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: General background information to assist in understanding the environment for which the model is intended; A mathematical description of the model; A description of how the model is exercised; and An appendix with computer source listings.
