Abstract:

A Systematic Cost- and Logistics-Effectiveness SCALE procedure is defined in this report. The objectives of this brief study were to define the concept of SCALE, review available logistics support computer models, propose an initial family of models, and postulate how the SCALE procedure can be used. The SCALE concept calls for the use of available support cost, support activity simulation, and mission performance computer models in an interactive framework. Five U.S. Air Force models LSC, MOD-METRIC, ORLA, L-COM, and AEP and two U.S. Army models GEMM and LOCAM4 are proposed to form the basis for an initial SCALE family of models.
