Reducing Base-level Excess AWP Items

Abstract

The Air Force Supply Executive Board (AFSEB) indicated that there is an excessive amount of end items in Awaiting Parts (AWP) status at base level. Also, the items seem to remain in AWP status for long periods of time. The AFSEB is concerned that the AFMC repair prioritization system is not effectively repairing the shop replaceable units (SRUs) needed to repair the AWP end items or line replaceable units (LRUs). The focus of this study is to determine what the Air Force can do to reduce the number of AWP conditions and the respective time in AWP status at base level. Develop and test business rules to reduce the number of base-level AWP conditions.
