C-17 Program Serialization of Airframe Fracture-Critical and Landing-Gear Reliability-Critical Parts

Abstract

This report is the first in a series on the life-cycle management of military aircraft landing-gear parts. This report addresses the serialization and tracking of airframe fracture-critical and landing-gear reliability-critical parts for the C-17 aircraft. The audit objective was to evaluate the Air Force actions to serialize and provide part-tracking capability of C-17 airframe fracture-critical and landing-gear reliability-critical parts to facilitate life-cycle management. We also evaluated the effectiveness of the management control program as it applied to the audit objective.
