The Dyna-METRIC Readiness Assessment Model: Motivation, Capabilities, and Use

Abstract

Logisticians must plan, in peacetime, for wartime. Thus they must forecast both how the existing logistics system will perform in the more stressful wartime environment and what additional resources are needed to improve that performance. This report describes a computer model, Dyna-METRIC, that can help the logistician to forecast future performance and identify wartime logistics constraints. The report discusses the model's general functional characteristics and capabilities, and a simple example is employed to demonstrate both the model's interfaces (input files and output reports) and its use in analysis, so that analysts can apply the model to specific problems.
