Predicting Powered Support Equipment and Associated Maintenance Manpower Requirements.

Abstract

There is a need for a more responsive method for predicting the ground equipment (SE) requirements and the related SE maintenance manpower requirements associated with newly developing weapon systems. A study was conducted whose purpose was to develop such a method by first establishing the basic analytical rationale, and then by creating a users' guide for the method. A computer program was developed from an existing maintenance data collection program. It processes maintenance data on operational SE in order to produce the information needed to conduct a Logistics Composite Model simulation of proposed SE work centers for newly developing aircraft. Primary inputs are the standard 6-month maintenance tapes kept at base level, and completed AF Forms 864 which provide records of SE utilization. The program is currently in operation on the Aeronautical Systems Division's CDC 6600 computer. (Author)
