Alternative Maintenance Organization Structures for Operational Wings

Abstract

Maintenance organizations have evolved over time because of the environment, technology, size, and mission. This study addresses the basic question of how today's maintenance organizations support the Air Force's new logistics concept of operations. First, background research examines basic management theory, the development of maintenance organization, and today's overall logistics concept. Then, centralized maintenance used in Military Airlift Command and decentralized maintenance used by Strategic Air Command and the Tactical Air Forces are described. The background and descriptions provide a basis to identify potential problems meeting the overall logistics concept of operations. (aw)
