The Aircraft Availability Model: Conceptual Framework and Mathematics

Abstract

The Aircraft Availability Model (AAM) is an analytical model and decision support system that relates expenditures for the procurement and depot repair of recoverable spares to aircraft availability rates, by weapon system. The AAM is based on standard probabilistic and marginal analysis concepts of inventory systems theory. It addresses both the multi-echelon aspect of supply (e.g., depots and bases), and the multi-indenture relations that exist among components. The report provides a complete description of the AAM: what the model does, how it does it, and the underlying mathematics. A description of the U.S. Air Force application to the programming, budgeting, and allocation of resources for recoverable spares is included.
