Optimum Supply and Maintenance Model User's Guide
Abstract
The Optimum Supply and Maintenance Model (OSAMM) is designed to simultaneously optimize support and maintenance policies for a new equipment. Inputs to the model are limited to the types of information that should be available early in development when the maintenance concept is being formulated. The model determines optimal Maintenance Task Distribution (MTD) and Replacement Task Distributions (RTD) for the major items in an equipment. It also compares the cost of throwing away an item with the cost of repairs. In making these decisions the model considers the spares, special test equipment and special repairmen that will be needed to support the maintenance policy. Other costs such as transportation, cataloging and documentation are also considered. The user's guide gives a brief description of the model and defines the inputs that are required. It also explains the model's output. Keywords include: Multipurpose Test Equipment; Optimal allocation; Level of repair analysis (LORA) modelling; and Supply and maintenance modelling.
