Presents a two-echelon inventory model for Air Force |
|
recoverable items in periods of dynamic change in the |
|
demand process, such as during initial provisioning or |
|
wartime. Affirms that steady-state models should be used |
|
only or mostly when flying activity is relatively stable. |
|
The report also investigates the validity of a |
|
longstanding assumption in the mathematics of inventory |
|
systems: that depot delay in the resupply of serviceable |
|
parts to a base is independent of the number of units in |
|
base resupply. Comparing the outputs of two dynamic |
|
models, one embodying the assumption and the other |
|
retailing meticulous computations, the author concludes |
|
that the assumption, although untrue, has a negligible |
|
effect on performance measurement and stockage |
|
requirements, and that logisticians therefore may freely |
|
embody it in their models because of its mathematical |
|
convenience. (Author) |
