Simulating Maintenance Manning for New Weapon Systems: Maintenance Data Analysis Programs.

Abstract

A method was needed to obtain data on Air Force maintenance experience with subsystems which were similar to those being considered for application on new weapon systems. The data had to be be structured so that it would be conveniently used in developing input for a Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) simulation. This required quantifying the crew size, crew composition, task duration, and the probabilities of various task sequences; outputs that were not included in standard K-LOG series reports. The programs have been developed and successfully used to process data on a number of different aircraft, and the resulting outputs used successfully in preparing simulation models for A-10, F-15, F-16, and advanced medium STOL transport aircrafts.
