A Program Allocation Model for Depot Purchased Equipment Maintenance.

Abstract

Within the framework of Resource Management system the Air Force operates the Depot Purchased Equipment Maintenance (DPEM). DPEM is the management process whereby customers of the Depot Maintenance Industrial Fund (DMIF) obtain funds and use them to buy maintenance effort. Managerial control by HQ AFLC over the demand by ALCs for funding is primarily through biannual on-site reviews. These five man review teams sample check DPEM requirements generated by Item/System managers in order to validate the bid for funding. The validation process currently uses historic data and arbitrary percentage weightings in achieving an equitable funding. In order to both increase the rationality of the process and reduce the cost of review, a study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of constructing a computer model which would fund DPEM requirements to pre set decision rules. The decision rules will be based on a mission essentiality priority ranking for major items, subjectively constructed by management, and an item criticality ranking of Exchangeable items based on their supply positions.
