Cost Information Requirements for Managing Aircraft Rework.

Abstract

Managing the diverse aspects of a Naval Air Rework Facility is a complex and demanding task. This thesis provides fresh input into two of the areas that are of concern to NARF management on a daily basis. First is the management of cost data to provide meaningful information for managers at all levels of the organization. Included is a brief explanation of the economic rationalization that supports the Life Cycle Cost concept. A discussion of the types of financial information needed by managers and deficiencies in the NIF accounting system follows. The next section centers on the basis behind the Reliability Centered Maintenance concept and how the deficiencies in the information collection system at NARF Alameda fail to support the demands of this concept. Recommendations are provided to alleviate both short and long run deficiencies. Keywords: S-3 aircraft. ( Author)
