Abstract
The Ccmmandant cf the Coast Guard recently expressed
concern ever the inadequate support cf uniform items to
Coastguardsmen. This thesis is in response ro this concern
and proposes a periodic inventory model which can be
expected tc provide effective inventory management of
clothing facilities. The proposed model offers improvements
by forecasting demand in order to mimiaize stock outages and
by incriasing customer satisfaction through increased
service levels. The proposed inventory control model has
been developed in twc parts, one for forecasting recruit
demands and the ether for sales demands. While the first
part of the inventory model is only applicable at the Cape
May Training Center, the second can be used nhroughout the
Coast Guard and is offered as a partial solu-ion to the
uniform support problems.
