Expeditionary Logistics Analysis for Decision Support

Abstract

This STIR grant will advance the current understanding of supply chain performance prediction, capacity planning, and resiliency analysis. It will provide military logistics planners with capabilities that are currently lacking in prevalent logistics planning tools. Research products will be designed to leverage data from the Army s new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to pursue end-to-end analysis and optimization of military supply chains, incorporating network modeling, queuing theory, and simulation to enable planners to evaluate logistics plans in near-real time. The analysis will focus on expeditionary operations as part of contingency scenarios. The project will construct a network-based model that captures routing alternatives and characterize the solutions to conduct capacity planning and resiliency analysis in near-real time.
