A Preferred Spare Decision Support System Incorporating a Life Cycle Cost Model

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to define and validate the factors needed to build an life cycle cost model to determine preferred spare acquisition strategy and develop a Preferred Spare LCC model. The study had five basic sub-objectives: identify and understand the information used by item managers when they acquire preferred spares; obtain a comprehensive understanding of the preferred spare decision process; evaluate the Cost Analysis and Strategy Assessment model with the intent of understanding and incorporating specific equations in the LCC model; develop a methodology within the LCC model for examining different preferred spare acquisition strategies; and develop a Preferred Spared LCC model.
