Estimating Initial Spares Funding Levels

Abstract

The Air Force estimates the initial spares funding requirements for a weapon system by applying a provisioning factor to the unit recurring flyaway cost of the weapon system. This procedure has worked well in the past, and should be even more appropriate under changes in the DoD definition of initial spares. However, it is important to monitor item cost changes and weapon flyaway cost changes over time. When they change at very different rates as in the 1982 - 1986 time period. the provisioning factors must be adjusted. Keywords: Initial provisioning, Spares budgeting.
