On the Benefit-to-Cost Ratio of Base-Level Stocking Decisions for Low Demand Items.

Abstract

This paper explores a fundamental cause of aircraft non-availability. It shows that for current Air Force aircraft, a significant portion of the lack of supply availability is due to not stocking items at the base level. Basic research on methods to alleviate this problem in a cost-effective way is reported. It is shown, with specific, real world examples, how these methods can be applied to current inventory aircraft. (Author)
