Logistics
Logistics models examine the provision of inputs to an operation. Military applications encompass procurement, distribution, maintenance, and replacement of materiel and personnel. However, our capabilities extend to industrial supply chains and their relation to infrastructures and markets.
Our agent-based logistics model has the following features:
- A flexible logistics & sustainment
tool for military & commercial applications
- The model is agent-based to
enable scale and speed necessary for enterprise applications
- The tool will include flexible
optimization capabilities
- The
model will have capability to be implemented on a cluster for speed & enterprise
applications
Capabilities of the model include:
- Part Demand — military
system usage with part failures and on-system maintenance
- Tasks — the
basic actions that repair, build, transport, and maintain systems
- Resources — support
equipment and personnel
- Transportation — shipping
options to move parts from one site to another
- Inventory — warehouse
control policies
The unique aspect of this model is the ability to model both supply and repair chains, on-platform maintenance with global deployment, and ability to optimize logistics configuration – nothing else does this as of now.
