An Analysis of Essential Logistics Support Data Items.

Abstract

This thesis involves the analysis of logistically important data that are procured and funded by System Program Offices (SPOs) within Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD). Data which are procured by the SPOs, but which are funded by the Air Logistic Centers (ALCs) are not addressed in this study. The results of this thesis are designed to assist the logistics manager assigned to an aeronautical SPO by providing to him/her a ranking of Data Item Descriptions (DIDs) by their logistics value. This judgment was furnished by logistics data managers and functional users in the ALCs, and by selected SPO logistic managers. It is hoped that the results of this research will help SPO logistic managers in identifying DIDs that have logistic value to the aeronautical system being acquired. The final results include a ranking of 60 DIDs into four categories ranging from high to low logistics value, along with a brief description of the purpose of each DID studied. (Author)
