Tactical Medical Logistics Planning Tool: Modeling Operational Risk Assessment

چکیده
TACTICAL MEDICAL LOGISTICS PLANNING TOOL: MODELING OPERATIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT The Tactical Medical Logistics Planning Tool (TML+) is a software program designed for Navy and Marine Corps medical planners as a tool that (1) models the patient flow from the point of injury through more definitive care, and (2) supports operations research and systems analysis studies, operational risk assessment, and field medical services planning. TML+ is designed with a user-friendly graphic user interface, an open architecture, and four program modules. The casualty generation module uses an exponential distribution to stochastically generate wounded in action, disease, and nonbattle injuries. The care providing module uses generic task sequences, simulated treatment times, and personnel, consumable supply, and equipment requirements to model patient treatment and queuing within a functional area. The network/transportation module simulates the evacuation (including queuing) and routing of patients through the network of care via transportation assets. The reporting module produces an Access database detailing various metrics, such as patient disposition, time-in-system data, and consumable, equipment, personnel and transportation utilization rates, which can be filtered according to the user’s needs. TML+ can be used before deployment as a deliberate planning tool or during deployment as a crisis-action tool that assists planners in responding to the rapidly changing wartime environment.

We consider the logistics capacity planning problem arising in the context of supply-chain management. We address the tactical-planning problem of determining the quantity of capacity units, hereafter called bins, of different types to secure for the next period of activity, given the uncertainty on future needs in terms of demand for loads (items) to be moved or stored, and the availability an...

Sustainable supply chain management has been an increasingly important topic of research in recent years. At the strategic level, there are computational models which study supply and distribution networks with environmental considerations. At the operational level, there are, for example, routing and scheduling models which are constrained by carbon emissions. Our paper explores work in tactic...
متن کاملAn optimization model for management of empty containers in distribution network of a logistics company under uncertainty
In transportation via containers, unbalanced movement of loaded containers forces shipping companies to reposition empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a European logistics company, where some restrictions impose decision making in an uncertain environment. The problem involves dispatching empty contain...
