Report on Analysis of the Program Oriented Item System for Forecasting Clothing Items,

Abstract

The Clothing and Textile Directorate of DPSC uses a unique procedure, known as the Program Oriented Item (POI) system, to forecast demand for certain clothing items. Some questions have arisen as to whether this is the best method to use, and how the current system could be improved. In July of 1983, DLA's Supply Management Division (DLA-OS) requested that the DLA Operations Research and Economic Analysis Office examine the POI system's operation for possible areas of modification. All facets of the system were to be examined to determine the extent and causes of forecast error.
