Dyna-METRIC Version 4. Modeling Worldwide Logistics Support of Aircraft Components
Abstract
This report describes Dyna-METRIC Version 4, a computer model that relates logistics resources and policies to wartime readiness. Developed for the use of logisticians to improve wartime logistics support, Dyna-METRIC assesses the effects of wartime dynamics and repair constraints and provides operational performance measures, problem detection, and spares requirements. Version 4 consists of five programs that provide for three echelons of interaction (including the depot-to-theater link) and three levels of components (for which demand processes, repair processes, and spares levels may vary). Dyna-METRIC portrays component support processes as a network of pipelines through which aircraft components flow as they are repaired or replaced within a single theater. Using the sum of all the pipeline segments, Dyna-METRIC determines the complete probability distribution for the number of parts in repair and on order. Combining the distributions for all components provides the estimate of aircraft availability and sorties. Keywords: Logistics management, Combat readiness, Operational readiness.
