An Analysis into the Prioritization of Maintenance Actions in the Air Force Civil Engineering Recurring Maintenance Program

Abstract

This thesis analyzed the Air Force Civil Engineering Recurring Maintenance Program. The analysis focused on the collection of decision factors important in the prioritization of maintenance items and the development of a systematic procedure for prioritization. Decision factors were collected through personal interviews with maintenance personnel at Wright-Patterson AFB and private organizations located in the Dayton, Ohio, area. These decision factors represent the thought process used in prioritization of maintenance items. The systematic procedure was developed using these decision factors. The systematic procedure was developed as a two part procedure. Part one uses a pairwise comparison technique to rank order the decision factors. The pairwise comparison establishes the flexibility necessary for incorporation into any preventative maintenance program. Part two then completes the procedure by calculating the maintenance priority number. The maintenance priority number indicates the relative importance of the maintenance item in relation to other items in the inventory. (Author)
