Forecasting the Demand of the F414-GE-400 Engine at NAS Lemoore

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to forecast the repair demand of the F414-GE-400 aircraft engine and determine if Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) West, located at Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore, will be able to meet increased demand in the near future. Our methodology was to collect current history of intermediate-level repair of the F414-GE-400 and estimate its increase based on the arrival of additional engines procured by the Navy. The objective of this research is to build an optimization model to determine if present manning levels are adequate to perform the forecasted engine repair demand. The analysis result provides decision makers with information regarding best alternatives to meet increased demand.
