Analytical modeling of joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration

We present a stochastic model for the performance evaluation of a key phase in the military deployment process, joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (JRSOI). The process is modeled as an open, multiclass queueing network, wherein personnel and various classes of cargo are modeled as the flow entities and the phases of the process constitute individual queueing stations. We present low and high resolution models that provide a quick look at key aggregate performance measures such as system throughput and closure.
