The RSS Analysis Project invites cities, counties, and states to participate in a free evaluation of their RSS operations. You will receive a comprehensive comparison of various operational methods, along with in-depth analysis of the most effective approach tailored to your community's needs. Completing the project requires minimal effort—just fill out a questionnaire with existing data. Join us today and ensure your community is prepared for emergencies with efficient resource supply and distribution strategies.

RSS Operations Analysis Mark Whitworth The Center for Emergency Response Analytics Cambridge, MA www.Response-Analytics.org
Purpose To convince you that your city, county, state needs to participate in the RSS Analysis Project. It’s free! www.Response-Analytics.org
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
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
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
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
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
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
RSS Performance Factors www.Response-Analytics.org
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
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
Select Best Alternative www.Response-Analytics.org
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
Sensitivity Analysis www.Response-Analytics.org
Resource Utilization www.Response-Analytics.org
Floor Space www.Response-Analytics.org
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
