The purpose of this study was to provide decision makers with the information necessary to determine the optimal alternative to the current waste-disposal strategy in view of the proposed EPA intent to regulate used oil as hazardous. Through the use of statistical analysis, forecasting techniques, and economic ratio calculations, re-refining was identified as the optimal solution for the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC). Analysis of the results indicated two major problem areas in the current waste-oil management program: 1) lack of funding for the AFLC PACER REDUCE data base project, and 2) lack of forecasting capability in the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) data base.
