Abstract: This is a survey paper drawing from several instances of work by the Logistics Research Project over the past ten years. The selection and treatment of this material has been influenced somewhat by the Conference papers being presented by other Project Members; however this mainly tends to reduce the amount of detail reported for those areas. It is also true that the present paper tends in the direction of a historical record; empirical methods of logistics research are stressed but not to the exclusion of material on the origins of the problems attacked, the course of their formulation as research problems, or the practical application of the results. The principal subjects treated are: operational logistics planning, industrial mobilization, usage data collection and analysis, the Allowance List Test Program, logistics data processing, and some additional instances of logistics research. The rather ambitious aim of the paper is to present an account which will do justice to the many individuals who have been responsible for these accomplishments of logistics research.
