Parts Requirements and Cost Model (PARCOM) Documentation. PARCOM Functional Description.

Abstract

Documentation was developed for the Parts Requirements and Costs Model (PARCOM) developed at the US Army Concepts Analysis Agency. PARCOM was designed to provide the Army with an analytical tool for quick reaction, gross estimation of wartime spare parts requirements and costs as they relate to flying hour and availability objectives. An ability to identify problem parts and possible causes of the problems was also desired. The PARCOM Functional Description is structured to provide a user with detailed information on PARCOM model logic, restrictions and potential for extension. Additional information on model application may be found in the PARCOM User's Guide, published separately. Keywords include: PARCOM model, Logistics model, Spare parts, Spares, Stockage model, Inventory management, Aircraft, Helicopters, Logistics requirements, Readiness, Functional description.
