An Assessment of the Ability of Maintenance and Logistic Models to Support Research on Early Estimation
Abstract
This document describes an assessment of several existing logistic and maintenance estimation techniques and modeling approaches was conducted to evaluate their suitability for supporting exploratory research into the development of tools for assisting in the minimization of maintenance burden for existing and future material systems. A conceptual model of factors influencing maintenance demand was used as a baseline against which to evaluate the selected modeling approaches. The existing approaches evaluated were determined to be highly resource and time-intensive, which may make them less than optimum for near-term payoff research. An approach involving development and utilization of reduced-scale maintenance system models for exploratory research was described, and this approach was recommended for research support in maintenance demand minimization. Keywords: Modeling manpower requirements, Personnel requirements, System acquisition, Estimation models, Maintenance, Logistics.
