WHAT IS VISUAL SESAME?
The Selected Essential-Item Stock for Availability Method (SESAME) is a multi-echelon, multi-indenture inventory model that determines the optimal range and depth of spares and repair parts at all locations in the support structure in order to meet a weapon system readiness target or fixed budget. VISUAL SESAME is a PC-based software application which incorporates the model in an interactive, user-friendly environment.
VISUAL SESAME OFFERS ANSWERS
TO MANY QUESTIONS
How much should be budgeted to meet a readiness target?
How much readiness is possible with a given budget?
How good is a contractor’s recommendation?
Given that current stock levels cannot meet a readiness target, how should the inventory be augmented?
How does improved reliability affect a spares budget?
What support structure works best for a weapon system?
Does commonality affect spares requirements?
