Scoop TRIDENT Repair Part Support Package

Abstract

Adverse conditions at the TRIDENT Refit Facilities (TRFs) may force submarines to obtain their replenishment at a non-Navy port. Replenishment requirements (Pull Package) are required, without knowledge of what was used in the current patrol, to provide the submarine with sufficient replenishment support to complete another patrol. The first part of this study evaluates alternative methods for computing Pull Packages. These methods include generic versus hull-tailored, demand-based versus the Best Replacement Factor (BRF) based, excluding items with sufficient On-Board Replacement Assets (OBRA), and using Military Essentiality Codes (MECs). The alternatives are evaluated in terms of effectiveness, size of package and cost. The second part of this study examines frequency of update and Pull Package refinements. We recommend deleting the OBRA items from consideration and annually computing a generic, demand-based Pull Package with range based on MEC and depth based on average demand quantity for those patrols experiencing demand. Keywords: Naval logistics; Ballistic missile submarines; Logistics support planning; Replacement.
