Modelling Personnel within a Defence Logistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a military deployment, the operational availability of deployed equipment will be affected by many factors including equipment usage rates, sparing policy, and importantly the composition and distribution of maintenance personnel. In this paper, we present a Coloured Petri Net model that captures the potentially complex defence logistics maintenance process that links these factors together. We simulate this model with the CPN Tools simulator and identify a number of simulation performance concerns related to the incorporation of personnel in the model. A number of alternative models of personnel are evaluated in an attempt to attain a level of simulation performance from CPN Tools that is acceptable for business reviews and headquarter operations planning. Finally, we present some directions for future investigation to improve simulation performance further.

The Use of Linear Programming in Military Operational Analysis
This paper presents a personal review of the use of Linear Programming (LP) techniques in Military Operational Analysis studies over the period 1967 – 2008. Applications described include Logistics Modelling, Reinforcement and Deployment modelling, Air Defence Balance of Investment (BoI) Analysis, and Cross-capability BoI Studies. In particular, it emphasises the use of LP to explore the soluti...
متن کاملFuzzy consequence modelling of hydrocarbon offshore pipeline
The traditional event tree analysis uses a single probability to represent each top event. However, it is unrealistic to evaluate the occurrence of each event by using a crisp value without considering the inherent uncertainty and imprecision a state has. The fuzzy set theory is universally applied to deal with this kind of phenomena. The main purpose of this study is to construct an easy metho...
متن کاملEU cyber - defence : a work in progress by Neil
The EU’s cyber defence agenda provides an opportunity to ask questions about what the EU could do in terms of setting security priorities. Furthermore, as a possible area for cooperation, cyber defence shares with military air logistics the peculiarity of being a common capability which does not require explicit war-like conditions to demonstrate its utility. Indeed, the diversity and complexit...

متن کاملModelling of Autonomously Controlled Logistic Processes in Production Systems
The increasing complexity in order processing of today’s logistics systems requires a reorganisation of existing planning and control systems, which do not allow a fast and flexible adaptation to changing environmental influences. Autonomously controlled logistics processes seem to be an appropriate approach to meet these new demands. In the context of this paper the changes in modelling of aut...
