Extending The Aircraft Availability Model To A Constrained Depot Environment Using Activity-Based Costing And The Theory Of Constraints, Gerardo H. Acosta Voegeli
Extending The Aircraft Availability Model To A Constrained Depot Environment Using Activity-Based Costing And The Theory Of Constraints, Gerardo H. Acosta Voegeli
Theses and Dissertations
The Aircraft Availability Model (AAM) assists managers in the selection of an optimal list of items to repair in order to attain the best aircraft availability rate. The model considers procurement or repair costs for the components as if the costs were unit variable as a price, instead of a repair cost representing a mix of both fixed and variable cost. This research used the AAM in conjunction with Activity Based-Costing (ABC) and The Theory of Constraints (TOC) methodologies to investigate the relationships between price, product mix, Aircraft Availability (AA) and total cost. This approach explicitly recognizes that the Air …
Theoretical Models For Aircraft Availability: Classical Approach To Identification Of Trends, Seasonality, And System Constraints In The Development Of Realized Models, David B. Wall
Theses and Dissertations
This research provides forecasting models that will enable the AMC Directorate of Logistics analysis section to predict aircraft availability and provide the TACC with a monthly forecast of the number of aircraft that will be available to fulfill AMC mission requirements.
