Quantitative Tools for the Logistics Manager.

Abstract

The increasing cost and complexity of our defense force combined with frequent reductions in resources requires each logistics manager to become knowledgeable of the quantitative problem-solving techniques available. This text is designed to serve as a ready reference of those quantitative tools most frequently used. Chapters 1 through 5 discuss concepts and techniques used in specific functional areas of logistics management. Chapters 6, 7, and 8 provide a brief review of basic statistics. The remaining 14 chapters cover specific quantitative tools used to aid the logistics manager in the decision-making process. No classified or copyrighted material is contained in this handbook.
