Wartime Logistics Demand Rate Forecasting

Abstract

This paper describes the methodology and results of a research and development effort to develop a Combat Experience Data Base and an automated Wartime Maintenance Information and Forecasting System with which to analyze the data. The data base is based on Vietnam-era Southeast Asia experience. The computerized analysis products are mathematical and simulation models which look at maintenance resource demands of typical Tactical Air Command units under non-nuclear warfare conditions. The computerized analysis packages leading to these products are a combat data parameter regression and crossplot module, a stepwise multiple regression mathematical modeling module, and a simple dynamic simulation model module. The driving force for developing the data base and analysis/forecasting system is the thought that much can be learned about predicting wartime resource demand rates by examining actual historical combat data from the Southeast Asia conflict. Keywords: Logistics support, Statistical analysis modeling. (kr)
