Abstract: The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) uses ammunition of various types for both training and operations. We introduce a Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) model, named Future Event Ammunition Stockpile Tool (FEAST), to explore issues regarding anticipated stockpile drawdown and resupply. Schedules for military training and operations and associated ammunition demands are stochastically defined as inputs to FEAST, as are budgets, various reorder policies and other inventory management parameters. Outputs of FEAST enable statistical characterization of various performance attributes, including anticipated fulfillment of demands and costs over time. FEAST is designed to be flexibly used by practitioners to answer “what if” type questions. This paper provides an overview of FEAST and illustrates a simplified scenario where a single nature of ammunition is required to simultaneously fulfill demands from several training types and military missions, for which several resupply options are to be expl ored.
