Evaluation of AEGIS Spares Allocation Model,
Abstract
This study evaluates the proposed Spares Allocation Model for determining shipboard supply requirements for supporting the AEGIS Weapon System. Included in this evaluation were: (1) a detailed comparison of the proposed model with several alternative models; (2) a sensitivity analysis of two data elements required by the proposed model; (3) an examination of theoretical differences between the proposed model and a conceptually similar model (Black and Proschan); and (4) an examination of the ADP (Automatic Data Processing) requirements for the proposed model. Model comparisons were made in terms of range of items stocked, investment, effectiveness, and range movement. Historical usage data were used in measuring effectiveness. The study indicated the proposed Spares Allocation Model and the Black and Proschan Model would give significant improvement in support over the other alternatives. However, these two models produced significantly larger ranges than the alternatives and, at high system protection levels, required significantly higher investment. Both models require large computer core storage capacity which limits efficient model execution to only the largest computer systems. (Author) large computer core storage capacity execution to only the largest computer systems. (Author)
