Models of Maintenance Resources Interaction: Wartime Surge

Abstract

The primary objective of this effort was to provide the Air Force with models of the interactive effects of manpower, spares, and support equipment for a current operational system in a wartime surge. Initial tasks established the wartime surge data requirements of an F-15 fighter, the available sources of data, and the critical variables selected for the Logistics Composite Model simulations. The simulated environments relate directly to the base level data, e.g., flying profiles, mission, and resource allocation levels. The majority of the data of this study was obtained from the following sources: Air Force and contractor publications; Maintenance Data Collection (MDC) systems; and structured interviews with operations and maintenance personnel. Regression models were developed for significant Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) variables. The LCOM and the regression models of interaction developed by this research effort can be applied to design and management issues related to readiness assessment.
