A Simulation Model of Issue Processing at Naval Supply Depot Yokosuka, Japan.
Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to provide a predictive and quantitative tool to support the contingency planning efforts of the Naval Supply Depot Yokosuka, Japan. A computer program modeling the issue processing functions of the Depot was constructed. In IBM's General Purpose Simulation System V (GPSS V). The completed program may be used to conduct experiments simulating Depot performance under conditions of surge demand. The information gathered in a controlled series of experiments with the model can be used to help formulate operating policy an resource distributions plans to cope with contingency situations. The scope of the model will be limited to those functions of NSD Yokosuka in direct support of issue processing operations, from requisition receipt to the point of availability of the issue for shipment to the requisitioner (or the point of actual delivery to the requisitioner in the case of bearer walkthroughs, quick picks and issues delivered to Naval Base Yokosuka activities by NSD tractor trains.
