Supplier Development: A Long-Term Supportability Option For USAF Engines

Abstract

The USAF engine supply chain community has struggled to meet the warfighters need for engine production and management of items subject to repair (MISTR) production requirements. USAF engine suppliers currently account for 50 of the USAF total engine production requirement, while the USAF organic depots provide the other half. USAF engine suppliers have been an important part of the integrated supply chain management (SCM) process providing engines and parts, aiding in the ability of the depots to meet the warfighters needs. The hypothesis is that the USAF can improve suppliers performance by strengthening its supplier development program.
