Historical Analysis of C-130E Resources
Abstract
This report presents the results of the collection and analysis of 15 years of C-130E Historical Resource Utilization data. The purpose of this study was to determine the type, quality and availability of resource utilization data for a specific weapon system. The information collected covers both human and material resource requirements. This type of information provides the baseline for planning for new weapon systems. It also establishes those areas of high utilization which may be reduced in the new system by possibly modifying some design parameter. A major problem encountered in this type of analysis is that the current Air Force management systems are not developed for historical evaluation. Frequently, the critical data are not available or in a form that makes it too costly to obtain. The resulting data bank was developed from existing Air Force data samples. Where only partial data was located, statistical methods were developed and applied to generate the missing data. Analyses were accomplished against seven (7) basic data categories, namely: (a) operations, (b) maintenance, (c) reliability, (d) safety, (e) human resources, (f) material resources, and (g) cost data. All data categories addressed, whenever possible, the 15 year period or life cycle of the C-130E weapon system (1962 through 1976).
