Maintenance Management in the Air Force Communications Command: A Forward Look.

Abstract

The Air Foce Communications Command (AFCC) is subject to external pressures which influence management structures and decisions. Four external pressures currently influencing AFCC are technology advances, budgetary and demographic considerations, and the Soviet threat. This thesis examines those pressures and AFCC initiatives to cope with them. Twenty-four managers in AFCC were interviewed in an explorataoary survey to determine what effects these pressures and the AFCC intitiatives will have on maintenance management at the unit level in AFCC. Four recommendations are made. First, functional alignment of the units, with oberhead manning based on mission and types and number of units supported, is suggested. Second, AFCC should examine the maintenance data collection program to determine if changes are needed. Third, AFCC should make maintenance analysis optional at the unit level. Fourth, AFCC should examine the feasibility of funding a civilian study of current regulations. Keywords: Maintenance management; Communications and radio systems; Communications equipment.
