Study On In-Theater Maintenance Support For Poaf F-16, Rui J. Gomes
Study On In-Theater Maintenance Support For Poaf F-16, Rui J. Gomes
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capacity to generate a desired level of sorties of the F-16 weapon system. This capacity depends on the maintenance concept and structure, that defines a specific level of in-theater resources available. The theater is intended to reflect Portuguese Air Force logistic operations planned for the F-16, with one operational base and a possible Centralized Intermediate Repair Facility (CIRF), not co-located. The TSAR simulation program and one USAF database was used to perform the evaluation were defined and compared. The study focused on the unscheduled maintenance tasks and repairable items, in particular …
An Analysis Of Fixed Wing Tactical Airlifter Characteristics Using An Intra-Theater Airlift Computer Model, Paul Pappas
An Analysis Of Fixed Wing Tactical Airlifter Characteristics Using An Intra-Theater Airlift Computer Model, Paul Pappas
Theses and Dissertations
This study used computer simulation to identify which tactical airlifter characteristics most significantly affected tactical airlift capability in a given scenario. The Generalized Air Mobility model was used to simulate a tactical airlift system. Aircraft characteristics within the model were grouped into six variables. A 2(6) two level full factorial experimental design was used to assess the effect of changes in aircraft characteristics on the effectiveness of the tactical airlift system. Yates algorithm was used to identify significant terms based upon the results of the factorial experiment. These significant terms were used to develop a parsimonious regression model that represented …
A Guide For The Consideration Of Composite Material Impacts On Airframe Costs, Jeffrey L. Isom
A Guide For The Consideration Of Composite Material Impacts On Airframe Costs, Jeffrey L. Isom
Theses and Dissertations
This study provides a guide to cost analysts who must consider the impact of composite materials on airframe costs. A literature review was conducted to determine the availability of cost models which incorporate the effect of composites on cost. A number of models are available, but no individual model was found that is applicable for every situation. In order to provide a baseline upon which analysts can compare model results as well as provide guidance in selecting cost drivers, a Delphi survey was conducted. Questionnaire results indicate that composite weight (as a percentage of total weight), composite part complexity, percentage …
Analysis Of Department Of Defense Organic Depot Maintenance Capacity Management And Facility Utilization Factors, Marlies Dewoody
Analysis Of Department Of Defense Organic Depot Maintenance Capacity Management And Facility Utilization Factors, Marlies Dewoody
Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated the effects of mandated depot capacity utilization rates on throughput, inventory, and operating expense. The measures of merit analyzed were work in process inventories, leadtime, and throughput. Since the services do not use a common computer system to track/compute capacity data, a computer simulation provided the data used to meet the research objectives. The simulation modeled a serially interdependent system subject to statistical fluctuations. Variability in the system was reduced by reducing the spread around the processing time mean. Buffer inventories were placed in front of each process to protect the process from variability. Constrained systems were …
The Effect Of Defense Management Review Decision 904, Stock Funding Depot Level Reparables, On Cash Flow Within The Reparable Support Division Of The Air Force Stock Fund, Deborah A. Elliot
The Effect Of Defense Management Review Decision 904, Stock Funding Depot Level Reparables, On Cash Flow Within The Reparable Support Division Of The Air Force Stock Fund, Deborah A. Elliot
Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated what the potential cash flow condition of the Reparable Support Division of the Air Force Stock Fund might be after final implementation of the procedures outlined in Defense Management Review Decision 904, Stock Funding Depot Level Reparables. The operation of the future Reparable Support Division was modelled using the General Purpose Simulation Software (GPSS/H) package and future cash flow conditions were projected through use of this model. Recommendations were then made based on the results of these projections and based on other data gathered during the course of the research process.
