Report on the Updating of Workload Factors for the DLA Mobilization Plan,
Abstract
This report documents and summarizes the work done and conclusions reached during the DLA Operations Research and Economic Analysis Management Support Office's (DLA-LO(DORO)) review of workload factors for the revised DLA Mobilization Plan (DLAMP). The study was performed at the request of the Command, Control, and Contingency Plans Division of DLA. In place of the Department of Defense Materiel Distribution System Study's (DODMDSS) demand factors which formed the basis for the current DLAMP, the DLA Inventory Data Bank and Service-provided Time Phased Force Deployment Data served as the main sources for the study. The Uniform Standard Automated Materiel Management System Inventory Management Simulation (USIMS) was then used to derive key Inventory Control Point and depot workload factors. These workload factors will be used by DLA Inventory Control Points and depots to assess any resource shortfalls in the event of a full mobilization. The report offers three major recommendations. First, more complete data should be obtained from the Services for future updates of the DLAMP. Second, a working group should be established within DLA to focus on and to evaluate mobilization policies. Third, for future mobilization planning efforts, earlier review by mobilization planners at the field activities of the computer simulation output should occur to increase the validity of the simulation results.
