Annual Materials Plan Analysis Tool

Abstract

At the request of the Defense National Stockpile Center (DNSC), the Defense Logistics Agency Operations Research and Economic Analysis Management Support Office (DLA-DORO) developed the Annual Materials Plan Analysis Tool (AMPAT). This tool quickly and accurately builds an Annual Materials Plan given macro-level factors such as minimum and maximum acquisition/disposal quantities, forecasted prices, and legislative disposal authority. Historically, the preparation of these plans has been primarily manual, and therefore, time consuming. This becomes important when one considers the sometimes frequent changes to the plans due to Defense Department and Congressional interest and the attendant quick responses required. AMPAT has given DNSC the capability to produce the AMP calculations within hours as opposed to weeks.
