The use of man-machine simulation for support planning

Expert InsightsPublished 1959

A talk presented before the Decennial Logistics Conference at Washington, D.C., January 20-22, 1960. The conditions under which support planning must be performed in the present and future military environment are discussed, and the experience of LP-II in performing such planning for an ICBM weapon of the 1963-1965 time period is described. From this experiment much knowledge has been gained about support concepts and policies, management systems, and simulation techniques. These findings may be applied to the design of man-machine control systems, organizational and information research, and decision theory.
