Toward Improved Initial Provisioning Strategies: The F-16 Case

Abstract

Based on analysis of the Air Force's F-16 program, the report examines initial estimates of two specific component characteristics: maintenance factor and unit price. The report substantiates the usefulness of an availability model in computing the best mix of recoverable spare components for a specified investment level and also demonstrates the usefulness of early operational data in revising initial estimates of component maintenance factors.
