Abstract:

A resource allocation model for a weapon system manager was synthesized from several subprograms within the structure of the generalized goal decomposition model. The weapon system allocation model describes the interaction of 1 a weapon system manager who allocates resources, 2 a stock point manager who desires to minimize cost by application of the Economic Order Quantity model at his two sub units, and 3 a Supply Officer of an activity that provides direct weapon system support. The Supply Officers objective is to minimize time weighted backorders at each of his two sub units.
