Analysis of Reliability Estimations and Spares Protection Levels on Life Cycle Costs of the Marine Corps H-1 Upgrades Program

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between predicted system reliability and planned spare parts levels. This will be accomplished through the integration of factors impacting spare parts levels and Life Cycle Costs into a spreadsheet model that will establish the appropriate relationship between the factors. This thesis will then attempt to determine the impact that varying estimations of reliability will have on both Life Cycle Costs and spares levels for the H-1 Upgrades Program.
