Managing Recoverable Aircraft Components in the PPB and Related Processes: Executive Summary.

Abstract

ORACLE (Oversight of Resources And Capability for Logistics Effectiveness) explores how the requirements to buy and repair aircraft components are related to the peacetime and planned wartime availability and flying activity of aircraft. It operates by producing a summary database from the Air Force's DO41 (Recoverable Consumption Item Requirements Computation System), a database from which one can estimate almost instantaneously and with remarkably little error how the complete DO41 computation, involving 150,000 separate components, would have responded to a change in peacetime or wartime flying activity, aircraft availability, and a variety of other quantities. We feel that its primary use will be in the PPB process, to estimate budgetary consequences of changes in flying programs and the like. But it could also be used to help allocate funds during execution. (Author)
