Distribution and Repair in Variable Environments (DRIVE) Concept of Operations
Abstract
The Air Force has traditionally determined depot repair requirements based on planning forecasts using historical worldwide reparable generation averages and asset positions that are nine months old by the end of the repair production period. MM and MA negotiate the computed forecast to reflect available carcasses plus anticipated reparable generations and then adjust this quantity, using expert judgement, to reflect bit and piece availability, shop capacity, and workload objectives. Once depot maintenance repairs an item and returns it to depot supply, AFLC normally distributes the asset to the oldest requisition first within priority groups. This first-come-first-served system may or may not reflect the most urgent current operational need. The current system doesn't provide a practical means to achieve responsive depot support to current and near-term operational requirements in peacetime. Furthermore, the current system simply cannot respond to changing operational requirements or uncertain events in wartime. (jes)
