A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HIGH-VALUE ARMY AVIATION COMPONENTS
Abstract
This report describes a system for the management of high value aircraft repairable components (engines, transmissions, gear boxes, etc.) which has been developed for the U.S. Army Aviation Materiel Command by the Advanced Logistics Research Office, Frankford Arsenal. The system is based upon the calculation, first, of a long-term Desired Inventory Level, which is the number of spares needed to provide some given degree of customer satisfaction, expressed in terms of the average length of time he has to wait for a serviceable replacement spare. The long-term Desired Inventory Level is calculated on the assumption that product improvements have been realized on the item, that its mandatory Time-Between-Overhauls has been extended as far as is feasible, and that pipeline times (repair, overhaul, shipment, etc.) have reached desired standard levels. Other features of the system include the use of the Actuarial Method, now in use in the U.S. Air Force, for forecasting timechange and premature removals.
