Estimating Depot Maintenance Resources Consistent with Changing Force Structure Policies

Abstract

This report documents a prototype model, developed for OASD(PA&E) to estimate aircraft depot maintenance resources consistent with changing force structure policies. The prototype model has three unique characteristics: (1) algorithms are provided that can be used to adjust historical resource consumption rates for changes in the mission profile (sortie duration and equipment cycles per sortie), (2) indirect depot repair costs (42 percent of the total) are not automatically changed when depot workload changes, and (3) the LMI aircraft availability model is used to estimate component repair requirements consistent with aircraft availability goals. The prototype model will function on any IBM compatible PC with at least a 40mb hard disk. A menu system provides the user with flexibility in defining an optional force structure, selecting historical data, and running the model. Outputs include a 5-year resource projection for each major repair category and a complete documentation of each force structure option (e.g., inventories, OPTEMPO, data used, assumption).
