Using Enterprise Assessments for SORTS Ratings

Abstract

This presentation will describe research into a potential new method of computing the supply portion of the Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) in the Air Force using enterprise data. Presently supply SORTS ratings are performed by squadron using the Aircraft Sustainability Model (ASM) to compute aircraft availability based on the war plans and assets currently available. A squadron can be rated poor (S-3 or S-4) even though there are sufficient parts in the inventory, just not at that location. The techniques examined in this work use enterprise-wide assets and the entire war plan (not just 1 squadron) to determine how well a particular weapon system is postured to fight that scenario. Additional scenarios were also examined. Finally, methods to correct the deficiencies identified in the assessment were examined. This should allow for achieving the best overall ratings for a weapon system.
