Abstract
Logistics functions within the military can be viewed
as similar in operation to finished goods distribution
within major manufacturing concerns. Based upon research
conducted within the distribution departments of selected
major manufacturing concerns, this thesis contains a
predictive model created from an observed relationship
between finished goods distribution and military logistics.
Utilizing a descriptive format, this model is established
through four major areas of comparison. First, financial
aspects and cost-benefit analysis toward an economic
utilization of all resources prevades the analogue. Second,
material movement designs or processes are presented toward answering the question of how a manager can go into an
organization with a critical eye at how better to perform
his function. Third, the often under-emphasized area of
human resources utilization also contributes significantly
to the model's evolution. Fourth, concluding the analogue
is a discussion of the interface of data processing, MIS,
and evaluation aspects of the process.
