An Evaluation of the Suitability of LCOM for Modeling. The Base-Level Munitions Production Process

Abstract

The simulation model developed in this paper demonstrates how the Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) can be used to provide a systems analysis of the base-level munitions production function. Using three categories of munitions, the model demonstrates how varying quantities of manpower, transportation equipment and storage capacity impact sortie generation. Results from simultions are analyzed to show how the output products are used to determine munitions resource requirements in support of a given sortie rate. (Author)
