Analysis of a Demand Recording Anomally,

Abstract

This Defense Logistics Agency report presents an analysis of a Standard Automated Material Management System (SAMMS) inconsistency between the distribution and requirements subsystems. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the urgency of implementing SAMMS System Change Request USDOHO33 to correct a current deficiency which may lead to malpositioned stock and increased transportation costs. This analysis estimates the extent of misrecorded demand and suggests that a follow-on study to calculate the increased transportation costs is unnecessary. Approximately four percent of total weight shipped was found to be recorded incorrectly. (Maps).
