Defense Logistics Agency Emergency Planning Models.

Abstract

This research enhances the Defense Logistics Agency planning process by developing two emergency planning models. These models are macro-models of the inventory control point system and the depot system. If a natural disaster or sabotage destroyed an entire facility during peace time, these models would provide insight into what realignment actions would have to occur and the potential magnitude of the actions. The model results would be used in conjunction with other essential information in the decision making process. Both models are formulated as linear programming models. The primary objective is to minimize the cost of realigning the systems. Both personnel and material resources are considered. The Northwestern University Multi-Purpose Optimization System is used to program the models. The sensitivity of the models is examined in detail. Originator supplied keywords include: Disasters; Linear programming; Logistics; Planning; Resource management; Tables(Data).
