Thew National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Sympsoium. Paper No. 7: A Management Simulator for Shop Stores in the U.S. Naval Shipyards
Abstract
In each of the eight Naval shipyards the part of inventory referred to as shop store contains between 15,000 and 40,000 stock keeping units with a combined value of between $9 and $20 million, In general the item is carried in shop stores if some use for it is foreseen but the use cannot be tied to particular industrial projects. The makeup of shop stores is complicated by the nature of the financing and planning activities in the Naval shipyards. For several years shop stores has been served by a package of computer programs with many sophisticated options. Among these options are management control parameters for planning reorder points and order quantities on a global basis. The parameters had not been widely used until a pair of simulator programs gave inventory managers a means to link values of the control parameters with measures of performance.
