A Simulation of the Reparable Processing Procedures Applicable to Reliability Improvement Warranties.
Abstract
The Reliability Improvement Warranty (RIW) concept is a procurement methodology which is rapidly being implemented in the United States Air Force. Effective use of this concept is contingent on expeditious movement of RIW components between Air Force bases and the contractor. Several reparable processing procedures have been used with varying degrees of success, but there is currently no established technique to aid in determining the optimum processing procedures. The authors conclude that a simulation model has been constructed which can be of assistance to the material manager and procurement officer in selecting an optimum reparable processing procedure.
