Abstract
This study was conducted to determine if an expert system
could be designed to assist the afloat Supply Officer in
considering space constraints when developing a deployment
loadplan.
Forecasting and Operations Research Models are used in
the development of the expert system and adapted, as necessary
to accommodate supply management afloat. Procedures for
determining net stowage capacity and material configuration
were reviewed to provide the user with an understanding of how
to effectively utilize the expert system for developing a
loadplan. The expert system includes a series of LOTUS 12 3
spreadsheets to be used in conjunction with the Military
Traffic Management Command's Computerized Deployment System
(CODES). The study concludes that the use of an expert system
would provide valuable assistance to the afloat Supply Officer
and recommends further research to establish the CODES
interface.
