New Approach to Air Force Provisioning

Abstract

The principal objective of the study was to define the correlation and/or difference between commercial and Air Force provisioning methodologies. Applicable data was collected at AFLC, USAir Headquarters, ALC Ogden, and USAir Provisioning Department in Pittsburgh. This data was analyzed and significant operational events in the Air Force and commercial provisioning cycles were identified and combined with data elements to construct Event Matrices. These matrices were then integrated through the identification of functionally equivalent events and common data into a unified Provisioning Matrix. The Provisioning Matrix provides schematic representation of the correlations and/or differences between Air Force and commercial methods. World Airline Suppliers' Guide data types were applied to data elements to support their organization into five sets of operationally equivalent data. Matrix elements were represented by codes in order to indicate how the data element is applicable to event performance.
