Abstract :
The paper discusses the domain of Army logistics planning at the level of the ODSCLOG (Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics) and describes tools to assist in this planning. In particular, we have developed a prototype collaboratory (CLINT) for logistics planning that relies on Microsoft NetMeetingTM as the collaborative infrastructure, and a tool named THREADS to support logistics problem solving. THREADS is a “visual simulation” of logistics routes that allows planners to quickly identify bottlenecks and compare alternative plans
