A series of case studies have been developed to facilitate understanding of the functional areas of logistics -- requirements determination, acquisition, distribution, and maintenance. This particular document is concerned with the acquisition function -- the obtaining of that which the requirements determination function has identified as needed -- and includes a set of five cases which may be used to develop and enhance the skills and knowledge of the logistics manager.
