A Prescriptive Model for Resource Allocation at the Intermediate Level Engine Facility.

Abstract

Inability to support spare engine requirements has a critical impact on this nation's ability to meet its worldwide commitments during a crisis. This study examined those factors that significantly affect the intermediate level Propulsion Branch's ability to provide a steady supply of spare engines. Through simulation modeling and analysis, four factors were identified as driving the Base Repair Cycle time: spare parts, repair equipment, manpower, and experience level. A decision support system was developed which enables most users to assess the influence on repair cycle time of additional funding levels in specific factor areas. (Author)
