This milestone, achieved in September 2024, marks the culmination of a year-long development process aimed at optimizing ammunition distribution and ensuring training readiness.
This innovative tool, known as the Quarterly Resupply Model (QRM), tackles the challenge of balancing efficient ammunition supply chains with the need to maintain adequate training stockpiles.
The QRM sets reorder points to facilitate out-of-cycle shipment decisions, with future plans incorporating simulations to aid...
