Impact of Incremental Changes in 7S Funding on Supply Performance; Delta 7S.

Abstract

The DELTA 7S Study was an effort to develop an improved methodology to allocate budget changes within the US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) Central Supply System. The methodology developed serves as an alternative to the historical method of distributing fund changes on a pro rata basis. Regression analysis and input-output analysis provide linear equations which describe relationships between resources (dollars), workload, and performance. These equations are incorporated into a goal programming model, which then determines the optimal allocation according to the assigned priorities. The model is computerized and is accessed interactively by the user. (Author)
