  1. RSS Operations Analysis Mark Whitworth The Center for Emergency Response Analytics Cambridge, MA www.Response-Analytics.org

  2. Purpose To convince you that your city, county, state needs to participate in the RSS Analysis Project. It’s free! www.Response-Analytics.org

  3. What’s in it for you? • What do you get? • A comparison of some different ways to run your RSS • A detailed analysis of the most promising way • What do you have to do? • Not much • Fill out a questionnaire with data that you already have www.Response-Analytics.org

  4. Project Scope and Goals • Analyze RSS operations in 36 jurisdictions • Test RSS performance in standard scenario • Evaluate operational alternatives • Select the best operational approach and perform detailed analysis • Performance • Robustness • Cost • Develop understanding of “RSS physics” • Identify rules of thumb, best practices www.Response-Analytics.org

  5. Project Status • We’ve completed about 20 analyses and we’ve seen a lot • Delivery by dump truck • An RSS in an airplane hangar • Drive-through PODs • Mega-PODs for 1,000,000 • A mini-POD at every neighborhood school • Ferry boats • State delivery to county warehouses www.Response-Analytics.org

  6. RSS • RSS is the critical link in supply chain connecting Federal materiel and PODs • RSS Goal—assure uninterrupted supply of materiel to PODs • Smooth RSS operations are essential to effective bioterror response • RSS operations difficult to plan and manage POD POD Push pack RSS POD POD POD POD POD POD POD POD Managed inventory POD POD www.Response-Analytics.org

  7. RSS Complexity • Complexity increases with • Larger number of PODs • Wide variation in POD sizes • Larger geography • Long drive times, traffic • Shorter operational window • Longer and/or later receiving window • Limited resources: crews, docks, trucks • Mixed-capacity truck fleet www.Response-Analytics.org

  8. RSS Performance Metrics • Slack • “Breathing room” • Ability to ship early • POD Interruption • Negative slack  late delivery • How many regimens are delayed? • Other metrics • RSS floorspace (square feet occupied) • Dock utilization • Truck utilization • Miles traveled www.Response-Analytics.org

  9. RSS Performance Factors www.Response-Analytics.org

  10. Example • 1.1 M people • 68 PODs • 60 miles X 40 miles • 17 48-foot trucks • 3 24-foot trucks • Aerosolized anthrax attack • Requires 48-hour response • 24-hour setup • 24-hour dispensing operation • SNS materiel “pulsed in” • Push pack arrives at hour-12 • Managed inventory arrives in waves www.Response-Analytics.org

  11. Develop Operational Alternatives • How many deliveries per POD? • Which trucks should you use? • How many pallets do you put on a truck? • Each alternative requires its own route system RSS www.Response-Analytics.org

  12. Select Best Alternative www.Response-Analytics.org

  13. What happens if Fewer trucks, drivers are available? Fewer docks, crews are available? Traffic impedes travel? Load/unload crews are inexperienced? Managed inventory arrives late? Assess Robustness www.Response-Analytics.org

  14. Sensitivity Analysis www.Response-Analytics.org

  15. Resource Utilization www.Response-Analytics.org

  16. Floor Space www.Response-Analytics.org

  17. Data Requirements • Total Population Served by all PODs • POD addresses • RSS address • Optional data • RSS square feet • Number of RSS loading docks • Additional POD data • POD-specific populations • Unload facilities • Truck fleet size and capacities www.Response-Analytics.org

  18. Discussion www.Response-Analytics.org
