Simulating Clothing and Textile Operations at the Defense Logistics Agency. Volume 2. SIMSCRIPT Source Code

Abstract

This report provides a narrative description (Volume I) and PC SIMSCRIPT II.5 source code (Volume II) for a PC-based simulation of wholesale inventory management of clothing and textile (C&T) items as practiced at the Defense Logistics Agency's Clothing and Textiles Directorate, Defense Personnel Support Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The C&T simulation system includes a simulation model, a SIMSCRIPT program for preparation of input data, and an analytic variable safety level (VSL) model (also programmed in SIMSCRIPT) for computation of C&T VSLs. Simulated functions include demand forecasting (both program-oriented and historical-demand-based); C&T inventory control (the setting of quantitative levels, e.g., reorder point, procurement cycle quantity, acquisition objective); customer demand (customers being DoD retail supply points); and supplier responsiveness(leadtime variability). Clothing and textiles, Inventory, Inventory management, Program oriented items, Safety level, Simulation, Supply, Supply management, Variable safety level.
