Rapid Response Mobilization Indicator

Abstract

Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) Industrial Preparedness Program(IPP) planners envisioned an enhanced capability for assessing the Agency's readiness in supporting the Services' projected war reserve material requirements. Such capability would provide planners valuable information for identifying and prioritizing industrial planning workload, identifying potential supply problems, and assessing potential risks during the time of mobilization, and would serve as a source for basing critical resource allocation decisions. Two areas of immediate concern were the identification of items in which rapid industrial support would be required and the determination of funding requirements needed to procure DLA-managed parts for ODS. Based on the above requirements, a deterministic mainframe based model was developed. Capabilities of the model include calculating a proactive procurement schedule, determining ability of on-hand and due-in stocks in meeting mobilization requirements, and assessing summary funding requirements on an NSN and time horizon basis.
