Second tooling-up exercise of Logistics Systems Laboratory (January-February, 1957).

ResearchPublished 1957

A supplement to RM-1924, First Tooling-up Exercise of Logistics Systems Laboratory (October-November, 1956). The present study attempts to determine whether a revised logistics system, incorporating changes proposed by RAND and by the Air Force which relate to provisioning, distribution, and data processing of airframe parts, will give equal or greater support at lower cost. The simulation techniques used in this second exercise (PROLOG II) will have a role in the first Laboratory Problem (LP-I), including the setting up of the two logistics systems on the laboratory floor, the use of time compression, and the calculation of system costs.
