Abstract
Introduction/purpose: The paper presents a model of logistics support planning in the conditions of limited logistic resources based on the prioritization of customer requirements and resource allocation. Decisionmakers play a crucial role in the efficient and equitable allocation of resources as they prioritize among different user requirements. Methods: Requirement prioritization techniques that use nominal scale, ordinal scale, and ratio scale, and five methods for converting ranks into weighting coefficients have been applied to determine the degree of significance of user requirements. The Requirements triage method has been used for establishing relative priorities, while the heuristic algorithm determining the Kemeny median was used to consolidate individually ranked requests into a group rank. In order to balance opposing demands of users, consensus measures of group decision making were used. For obtaining an optimal planned solution of logistic support, the methods and techniques of resource allocation were applied. Results: A model for adaptive planning of logistics support in the conditions of limited resource capacities of the logistics system has been developed. Conclusion: The proposed model can be effectively applied in other areas of resource allocation.
Highlights
Logistics support planning is a highly complex problem in a military organization
Based on all the above, the goal of this paper primarily indicates the growing need to develop the logistics planning process, and the final transition from traditional thinking to more modern, innovative solutions to keep pace with foreign armies
There is often a need to make decisions regarding the allocation of limited resources
Summary
Logistics support planning is a highly complex problem in a military organization. Research shows that even the most powerful armies in the world face numerous issues in planning the logistic support of military operations (McConnell & King, 2019). - Determining customer requirements, expressed through the necessary resource capacities of the logistics system; - Determining the available resource capacities of the logistics system in the observed planning period; - Determining the deviation of the required and available resource capacity; - Choice of policy to meet customer requirements; - Development of alternative planning solutions; - Selection of a planning solution from the set of acceptable solutions; and - Concretization (detailed elaboration) of the selected planning solution These activities indicate that in the process of logistics support planning, it is necessary to apply adequate models for the allocation of limited logistic resources in accordance with the conflicting requirements of the users to achieve better global utility of military formation. It was decided that other requirements would be partially met by all users
