An Analysis of the Electronics Distribution Depot Mission at Dayton, Ohio.

Abstract

This report examines the feasibility of relocating the DLA depot mission at Dayton, Ohio, to other DLA and DoD depots. It also examines the feasibility of consolidating the DLA electronics mission at Dayton, Ohio. A computerized linear programming (LP) model was used to assign workload to the potential recipients on the basis of inbound and outbound transportation costs. Feasible alternatives were selected from the set of alternatives used in the LP and the costs and savings associated with each alternative were computed and compared. Conclusions were developed by comparing the results of the cost analysis with certain unquantified considerations. The relocation of the Dayton Depot was found to be economically feasible for the Defense Department. However, any decision regarding relocation must consider the environmental and socioeconomic impact on the losing and gaining communities. (Author)
