N2 - The management of a military supply chain (SC) involves the integration of production, packaging, warehousing, repair, maintenance and transportation of army supplies. In this paper, we focus on the integrated demand-responsive scheduling of maintenance and transportation operations within the SC. We consider a modular representation of a SC, in which the maintenance and transportation operations constitute the corresponding modules. An efficient integration of these operations is carried out by an additional controlling (commanding) module. We describe and analyse the optimisation problems arising in each module. The main contribution of the paper is that the analysis and optimisation of the controlling module permit to enhance the performance of the entire SC. Computational experiments prove the validity and effectiveness of the suggested models.
