A Statistical Analysis to Determine the Supply Effectiveness of the Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) Program

摘要

This thesis provides an explanation of the supply aspects of the Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA). A statistical and operational analysis is made of the fill times for programmed and nonprogrammed requisitions and requisitions containing Not Mission Capable-Supply (NMCS) indicators. Select data obtained from the HO51 computer data files forms a basis for the analysis. The analysis indicates that the mean fill times for programmed requisitions are statistically less than fill times for comparable nonprogrammed requisitions. Further, NMCS requisitions were found to receive no better support if coded as programmed. The thesis concludes that the differences in fill times for programmed and nonprogrammed requisitions, while statistically significant, fails to meet established criteria. (Author)
