A Human-Centered Approach to Sense and Respond Logistics
Abstract
The goal of this research effort was to develop quantitative and scientific methods that capable of assisting researchers and military logisticians in the analysis of the effectiveness of logistics technology and processes in a Sense & Respond Logistics (S&RL) environment that incorporated both a human-centered and a system-based perspective. The specific research efforts summarized in the report include: (1) Effective Scheduling and Coordination of Disaster Relief Operations, (2) Experimental Evidence on Team Coordination and Collaboration Within a Distributed Logistics Network, (3) A New Paradigm For Studying Trust In Virtual Teams, (4) Developing and Evaluating Operationally Robust Forecasting Techniques in Military Logistics, (5) Integrated Distribution Planning and Forecasting for Medical Logistics, (6) An Auction-Based Framework for Resource Allocation in Disaster Relief Operations, (7) Comparing Maintenance Policies for Single-Unit, Markovian Systems, and (8) Improved Outbreak Detection for Bio Terror Response Logistics.
