A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Competitive Versus Sole Source Procurement of Aircraft Replenishment Spare Parts.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of competition on the cost of aircraft replenishment spare parts. A conceptual model was presented which depicts the relationships between the various cost factors and the identifiable benefits of competition. It indicates that the net savings (loss) accompanying a shift from sole-source to competitive procurement is a function of gross savings (loss) in procurement dollars, procurement data costs, administrative costs, quality costs, and reliability costs.
