Aging Aircraft Repair-Replacement Decisions With Depot-Level Capacity as a Policy Choice Variable

Abstract

In Keating and Dixon (2003), we presented a model for determining when it would be optimal to retire, rather than continue to repair, an aging system. This work extends Keating and Dixon along two dimensions. First, we extend our methodology to examine whether a proposed modification (mod) is worthwhile relative to retiring an aircraft. Second, we develop a new methodology to explore the desirability of additional investment in depot-level capacity.
