摘要
A valuable resource for any testing agency is the item pool which yields the questions for its tests. This paper considers the problem of developing the supply chain that provides these items. In particular, the life cycle of items used in the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is reviewed. Guidelines for the optimal development of items over a finite horizon are given. The assembly of the tests and the problems associated with supply chain development will be formulated as integer programming models. All problems will be solved with commercially available software.
