Abstract:

The Defense Logistics Agency DLA Contracting Directorate and Directorate of Supply Operations jointly asked the DLA Operations Research and Economic Analysis Management Support Office DORO to review existing policies and procedures for terminating procurements for material considered excess to current requirements. They also asked for an analytic computer model to determine under what circumstances it is cost effective to cancel or terminate excess procurements. The Terminations Model was developed by DLA DORO in response to the request. It standardizes and streamlines the termination process. It also provides key insights to the various elements of cost for holding versus terminating and reprocuring stock. This report is a Users Guide and Technical Description for the Terminations Model. It is intended as a desk reference for DLA item managers and other end users of the model.
