Report on the Evaluation of Demand Forecasting Techniques for the Subsistence Commodity. Volume 2,

Abstract

DPSC (Defense Personal Support Center) presently employs the different automated materiel management systems to provide supply support to customers throughout the world. The Perishable Subsistence Automated Supply System (PSASS) is used to compute requirements, buy actions, and safety levels for perishable troop issue and brand name items overseas and perishable troop issue items in CONUS. The semiperishable Central Stocked System computes requirements, buy actions, and safety levels for semiperishable troop issue and brand name items overseas and semiperishable troop issue in CONUS. Both PSASS and the Central System generate a supply control study which portrays the stock position (on hand/on order/due-in), actual forecast requirements and demand history, as well as the replenishment quantity when and where applicable. The Direct Commissary Support System (DICOMSS) is used to provide direct supply support services for brand name items and items restricted to large commissary customers overseas but not applied to CONUS customers. This document contains tables showing models, leadtime, and procurement cycles for commissary items.
