Applying the Dyna-Metric Inventory Model for Strategic Airlift.

Abstract

The importance of strategic airlift in the nation's defense strategy of force projection is paramount. Currently, there is no method of assessing the capability of strategic airlift with respect to reparable spares. The most current inventory model used by the Air Force is Rand's Dyna-METRIC model. Dyna-METRIC was developed to assess the capability of tactical aircraft operating from a single location. In contrast, the strategic airlift scenario is one of aircraft transiting various bases throughout a mission. A methodology for applying Dyna-METRIC to the strategic scenario was developed, modeling the full range of MAC's spares supply concept. Additionally, the HQ MAC method of establishing BLSS and WRSK stock levels was analyzed. The results obtained in this research confirm that Dyna-METRIC has potential for use in capability assessment of MAC's strategic airlift fleet. Specific recommendations for future model applications are given.
