A Comparison of C-17 War Readiness Spares Kit Computations Using Dyna-METRIC

Abstract

The inventory models compared performance of two representative war readiness spares kits (WRSK) for the C-17 aircraft under strategic and tactical airlift scenarios. WRSK stock levels were calculated for a sample of 24 aircraft line replaceable units using the Military Airlift Command's (MAC) computations and the Dyna-METRIC computer model. The level of support provided by MAC's kit was compared to the Dyna-METRIC kit by assessing it with Dyna-METRIC at a 15 percent not mission capable rate. The results showed MAC's computations produced a WRSK kit comparable to Dyna-METRIC's with respect to cost, stock levels, and aircraft availability for a squadron of 14 aircraft flying tactical airlift missions. Under the strategic airlift scenario with a wing of 39 aircraft, however, there was a large variation in the stock levels and cost for the WRSKS and base level self-sufficiency spares between the MAC and Dyna-METRIC kits. Keywords: Inventory models.
