Benchmarking F-22 Mission Capability Rates and Sortie Output Through Data Envelopment Analysis
Abstract
The F-22 is combat-proven, operating in conflict areas for over a decade. Best practices to maximize the Mission Capability (MC) rate are not successfully codified and defended with data. This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to identify benchmark environments where the MC rate is optimized and efficient. DEA successfully compared the relative efficiency of inputs and outputs across two units and determined the more efficient organization. Additionally, DEA provides current senior USAF leaders and tactical managers insight into performance environments where relative efficiency can be maximized to support the National Defense Strategy in a fiscally constrained environment.
