Analysis of Material Processing Center Operations • Examine the strategic, tactical, and operational effectiveness of the design and operation of material processing centers (MPC) • Evaluate the center’s necessities for material handling equipment and systems • Improve the efficiency of supply support to military customers during peacetime and reliability during war-time
Research Strategy for the MPC Analysis • Observation of the Susquehana, PA Defense DC and the Norfolk, VA Naval Base MPC • Document current operating policies and procedures at DDNV MPC site and within supporting DDC operations • Examine the effectiveness of pre-sort strategies and other process re-engineering changes within the MPC support operations • Recommend process improvement changes for the operation based on measurable performance criteria.
Current Focus of the 2002-2003 CELDi/DLA Project • Investigation of the DSS/LCAV data interchange potential • Generation of simulation model for the current and proposed systems • Analysis of appropriate material handling equipment applications • Assessment of current MPC re-engineering proposals
