The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for the development of emergency logistics response models. The proposition of a conceptual framework is in itself not sufficient and simulation models are further needed in order to help emergency logistics decision makers in refining their preparedness planning process.
Maintaining a high level of availability of weapon systems during battles becomes important from the point of view of winning the battle. Due to attrition factors (failure due to battle damage and unreliability) and logistic delays in the repair process, maintaining the required level of availability is difficult. In this paper, we develop a simulation model for availability of fighter aircraft…
The purpose of this paper is to formulate procurement strategies and determine the optimal procurement quantity in order to maximize profit through forward contracting and the spot market.
