Management of demand based inventory aboard submarine tenders servicing attack (SSN) submarines

This thesis examines the computation of inventory levels based on demand history aboard Submarine Tenders that use the Shipboard Automated Data Processing System (SUADPS) for inventory control. The focus of the thesis was the workload and supply effectiveness issues associated with the processing of the SUADPS levels setting program. The objective of the thesis was to determine the effect on supply effectiveness and stock churn if the levels program was processed less frequently. The thesis concludes that the likely effect of less frequent processing of the levels setting program would be an insignificant decrease in supply effectiveness and a significant decrease in stock churn. Further research involving a review of the assumptions and procedures of the SUADPS inventory model was recommended.
