A Computer Simulation Analysis Of The Usaf Vehicle Allowance/ Authorization Process, Charles T. Butler
A Computer Simulation Analysis Of The Usaf Vehicle Allowance/ Authorization Process, Charles T. Butler
Theses and Dissertations
This research examined the effects of the incorporation of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) on the USAF vehicle allowance/authorization process. The study utilized a computer simulation model to mimic the flow of the AF form 601, Equipment Action Request, as it is submitted at base level and coordinated through the MAJCOM and WR-ALC. The hypothesis was that the allowance/authorization cycle time could be made shorter by transmitting the information contained on the form 601 electronically, rather than mailing the form to each coordinating agency. In order to compare the process with and without the use of EDI, two computer simulation models …
Data Communications Possibilities For The Deployable Remote Consolidated Aerial Port Subsystem, John T. Rausch
Data Communications Possibilities For The Deployable Remote Consolidated Aerial Port Subsystem, John T. Rausch
Theses and Dissertations
This research's purpose was to determine the optimal candidate system for data communications with deployable Remote CAPS. The process also established justification for the selection. A formalized methodology based on Benjamin Ostrofsky's Design, Planning, and Development Methodology was used for the process. After a needs analysis of the problem, which is a lack of a mobile data communications system for MAC air transportation units, a feasibility study was completed which formulated the candidate systems to solve the problem. Finally, a preliminary activities phase evaluated each candidate system according to end user based criteria. The candidate system selected was the Very …
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.
Investigating The Application Of The Theory Of Constraints To The Scheduling Environment Of The Iaf's Depots, Lewis S. Trigger
Investigating The Application Of The Theory Of Constraints To The Scheduling Environment Of The Iaf's Depots, Lewis S. Trigger
Theses and Dissertations
This research investigated the application and merits of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) to the scheduling environment of the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) maintenance depots. TOC was extensively reviewed including an elaboration of the TOC paradigm and the scheduling procedures developed for a commercial manufacturing setting. Background information was also presented on the IAF depots and traditional scheduling rules. An experiment was designed and conducted that simulated a simplified version of the process flow of the armaments depot. the simulation compared the terms of lower inventory and makespan. The experiment did not conclusively show any difference in standard throughput hours …
Contingency Contracting In The Low-Intensity Conflict Environment, Steve Bell
Contingency Contracting In The Low-Intensity Conflict Environment, Steve Bell
Faculty Publications
The United States military presence in Central and South America is under attack, both literally and politically, as bombings and sniper fire directed against U.S. military personnel characterize the low-intensity conflict (LIC) environment in certain parts of Latin America. The process of contracting support for U.S. forces in a LIC environment is oriented toward sustaining operations in the field, as opposed to contracting for mobilization or surge production. A significant characteristic of this field support is that a contracting officer (KO) deploys overseas with the supported military unit. Some of the unique concerns faced by a KO deploying with an …
