Effectively Manage Logistics Functions

Having appropriate personnel and equipment where they’re needed, when they’re needed, is essential for the successful operation of military and defense agencies. Predictive analytics solutions from SPSS Inc. have proven their value in assisting in the direction of complex logistical activities, regardless of location, the type, of the amount of materiel involved.

Predict when and where equipment and parts are needed

Predictive analytics helps analysts determine what types of equipment are likely to be needed, in what quantities. In addition, analysts can predict what kinds of repairs may be needed so that essential parts and tools will be available when and where they’re needed.

Proactive maintenance enables you to replace parts before their projected failure points. This helps units avoid breakdowns and obtain the best use from multiple-component equipment ranging from airplanes, military transport, and general-use vehicles to mobile computers and peripheral devices.

Manage inventories with effective models

SPSS products provide several options for managing your inventory. Forecast demand by analyzing historical data, deploying results to logistics officers or to battalion commanders for approval or adjustments.

Or, for just-in-time inventory, use SPSS products to create models of well-managed inventories, based on historical inventory data. Use such models to develop a profile of your ideal inventory. Then, embed the profile in your supply management systems for real-time monitoring and decision making.

Interoperable, scalable, and reliable solutions

With the complexity of military organizations and operations, your logistics operation benefits from open solutions that are interoperable with the information systems of other branches of the military, and with systems operated by vendors, contractors, and others. You need solutions that are scalable—capable of analyzing the flow of supplies and other materiel needed to equip tens of thousands of troops on a variety of timetables—reliable, and auditable.
