Case Studies of Supply Inventory Models

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to develop case study examples of Air Force Supply inventory models. It is intended to be a companion work to a previous AFIT thesis, A Handbook of Supply Inventory Models, by Major William C. Hood. Together, these two works are to be used by Air Force Supply personnel to gain an understanding of how the various Supply inventory models work. These case studies are composed of detailed scenarios which highlight the components and functions of the models presented. All scenarios use Air Force data/ situations in their presentation. Following each scenario is a series of questions about the situation presented, or about the model being used, which are designed to increase the understanding and comprehension concerning some aspect of the model's ability or performance. The inventory models presented in this study are: 1) the Base-level EOQ model, 2) the AFLC EOQ model, 3) the Repair Cycle Demand Level model, 4) the Multi-Echelon Technique for Recoverable Item Control (METRIC) model, 5) the Dyna-METRIC model, 6) the Manufacturing Resource Planning model, and 7) the Bench Stock model. Keywords: Mathematical models, Logistics management.
