Effective Date (E-DATE) Model Documentation. Request Processor.
Abstract
This Functional Description for the Request Processor supplements the Functional Description of the E-DATE Model. It presumes reader familiarity with the E-DATE Model Functional Description and is written to provide: (a) The Request Processor requirements to be satisfied which will serve as a basis for mutual understanding between the user and the developer. (b) Information on the Request Processor performance requirements, preliminary design, and user impacts. (c) A basis for the development of the Request Processor tests. The US Army Concepts Analysis Agency (CAA) developed the Effective Date (E-DATE) Model in response to tasking by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics (ODCSLOG). The tasking called for the development of a methodology to assist logistics staff officers in responding to questions from the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans (DCSOPS) about the adequacy of the fill of selected Army units. The model has since undergone a round of enhancements to improve its capability, including an enhancement to make the model more user friendly. In implementing this latter capability, the emphasis was placed on simplification of input procedures, with a presumption of minimum user familiarity with computer operation.
