The Development of Scheduled Maintenance Programs for Naval Aircraft.
Abstract
This thesis presents a synopsis of the overall system that determines scheduled maintenance requirements for Navy aircraft. The history of the development of the logic process now used to determine scheduled maintenance requirements is reviewed to show what changes have occurred, and why the changes were necessary. Current processes for determining maintenance requirements are reviewed in some detail to promote understanding of how the logic system works, and how it interacts with the design process. Major system acquistion and logistic support analysis processes are briefly summarzed to highlight the location of the maintenance requirements determination procedures within the total system. Comparisons are made and differences are noted between the U.S. Air Force procedures for maintenance program development and those of the Navy. Potential problems with the new system of statistical sampling based depot maintenance are noted, and possible future developments in the field. Keywords include: Aerospace Maintenance, Aircraft Maintenance, Reliability-Centered Maintenance, Maintenance Programs, and Maintenance Requirements.
