Autor Moshe Kressen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2012
Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to military logistics. Chapter 2 discusses the general structure and characteristics of logistics and describes its three levels - strategic, operational and tactical. Chapter 3 focuses on Operational Logistics (OpLog). Chapter 4 deals with the logistics planning process. Chapter 5 addresses the issue of logistics information. Chapter 6 deals with forecasting logistics demands.

Operational

Operationsexplores
military
logistics
in
terms
of
the
theoretical
foundations
of
operational
logistics
(OpLog)
and
its
applications.
The
theoretical
foundations
are
examined
with
regard
to
two
dimensions.
First,
the
artistic
or
qualitative
aspects
of
contemporary
logistics
are
looked
at
in
the
context
of
the
operational
level
of
war.
These
OpLog
aspects
include
principles,
imperatives
and
tenets,
which
are
stated
and
analyzed.
The
second
dimension
relates
to
the
scientific
aspects
of
logistics.
It
is
manifested
by
a
formal
network
model
that
represents
the
structural
and
operational
features
of
an
OpLog
system.
Hence
the
book
examines
both
artistic
and
scientific
dimensions
of
military
logistics
and
integrates
the
respective
qualitative
and
quantitative
aspects
into
a
unified
and
definitive
presentation
of
operational
logistics.
The book is intended for logisticians, commanders and military scholars. Operations-research analysts, who are interested in large-scale logistics systems, may also find interest in the book, in particular in the models that are presented in the last four chapters.
Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to military logistics. Chapter 2 discusses the general structure and characteristics of logistics and describes its three levels - strategic, operational and tactical. Chapter 3 focuses on Operational Logistics (OpLog). Chapter 4 deals with the logistics planning process. Chapter 5 addresses the issue of logistics information. Chapter 6 deals with forecasting logistics demands. Chapter 7 introduces the first version of the logistics network model. Chapter 8 addresses an important property of an OpLog system - Flexibility. Chapter 9 discusses two major (and dual) issues in OpLog practice: force accumulation and medical treatment and evacuation. Chapter 10 presents an inter-temporal network optimization model that is designed to determine deployment and employment of the support chain in an OpLog system.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book explores the theoretical foundations and applications of military operational logistics (OpLog). OpLog theory has two facets: qualitative and quantitative.The qualitative facet is imbedded in the theory of operational level of war or operational art. It includes principles, imperatives and tenets, which are stated and analyzed in the first few chapters. The quantitative facet relates to the scientific aspects of OpLog. It is manifested by formal network models representing structural and operational features of an OpLog system. The book examines the two facets and integrates them into a unified presentation. Important OpLog applications a re described and discussed.
Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to military logistics. Chapter 2 discusses the general struc
ture and characteristics of logistics and describes its three levels – strategic, operational and tactical. Chapter 3 describes the foundation of OpLog. Chapter 4 deals with OpLog planning. Chapter 5 addresses the issue of logistic information, and Chapter 6 deals with forecasting logistic demands. Chapters 7 and 8 are new additions to this second edition. They address logistics aspects of two contemporary operational topics – insurgencies and humanitarian assistance.Chapter 9 describes the first version of the logistic network model. Chapter 10 addresses an important OpLog characteristic – Flexibility. Chapter 11 discusses two major challenges in OpLog practice: force accumulation, and medical treatment and evacuation. Chapter 12 presents an inter-temporal network optimization model designed to determine deployment and employment of the OpLog support chain during military operations.
