An Analysis of Three AVCAL (Aviation Consolidated Allowance List) Inventory Models Using the TIGER Simulation Model

Abstract

This thesis investigates the effectiveness of three Aviation Consolidated Allowance List (AVCAL) inventory models in achieving aircraft system operational availability. The three models studied are the Aviation Supply Office (ASO) Model, the Repairables Integrated Model for Aviation (RIM- AIR), and the Availability Centered Inventory Model (ACIM). TIGER, a simulation model developed by Naval Seas Systems Command, is amended to accommodate simulation of multiple aircraft sorties with a realistic parts pipeline operation. AVCAL model inventory levels are compared over a ninety day period utilizing availability statistics computed by TIGER. Additional keywords: TIGER computer program, Monte Carlo method.
