Station Loading on the DATSA (Depot Automated Test Station for Avionics).

Abstract

This thesis investigates the repair process for B1-B avionic Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) at the depot level of maintenance. A Depot Automated Test Station for Avionics (DATSA) is used to test these SRUs for faults. A computer model provides the environment for the simulation and comparison of different amounts of DATSAs at the depot at Robbins AFB, Georgia. SIMPLE I is the simulation language used by the model. It was chosen primarily because it can be used on any IBM or IBM compatible personal computer, and it does not require a simulation expert to run. The model's user-friendly input screens allow for changes to be made for future simulations as more data becomes available on the SRU repair process.
