Predicting space requirements at Defense Logistics Agency warehouses

Abstract

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) currently operates all of the military's Defense Depots, storing mIllions of cubic feet of material. We compare DLA's storage capacity over the next three years to the demand placed on it by the military - specifically the Service's baseline inventory level plus material returned by deactivated or decommissioned units and ships. We show that DLA will have sufficient storage capacity for fiscal years 1997-1999.
