Reducing Support Costs and Improving Reliabilities/Availabilities of Air Force Aircraft Equipment.

Abstract

Common statements and opinions about the 'high support costs and poor reliabilities' of items of equipment are discussed. A distinction is made between statements that are objectively confirmable, at least in theory, and those that must, by their nature, remain forever subjective. For those statements where objective confirmation is possible, an analytic approach aimed towards reaching such objectivity is outlined. Logical remedies for severe cases are suggested. A program for analysis and subsequent actions is outlined. Specific program tasks are deliniated.
