Stockage Location Policy Analysis

Abstract

The study was charged with the tasks of evaluating alternative stockage policies and to assess Department of Defense (DoD) demand stability assumptions at the wholesale level. Three policies were analyzed under a DoD distribution system that fully implemented depot consolidation. The first policy evaluated was the 'stock closest to the customer' option which represented the historical strategy. The second was the 'stock closest to the vender' option which represents the DoD directed strategy under Defense Management Review Decision (DMRD) 901. A third policy was also examined which represented a hybrid of the previous two stockage location strategies. Lastly, the project examined the fundamental assumption that DoD demand was stable at the wholesale level.... Stock policies, Demand stability.
