This book was released on 1987 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the feasibility of constructing a quantitative model of the Navy's aircraft carrier aviation logistic support system. The emphasis is on predicting the effect that an interruption of COD/VOD material would have on the sustainability of aircraft readiness. Two forecasting models were constructed; one for forecasting full mission capable rates (FMC) and one for forecasting mission capable rates (MC). The conclusion was that aircraft readiness is very sensitive to a prolonged interruption in the external air logistic support pipeline. Recommendations are made to conduct specific carrier operations to extend the range of actual data observations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the Carrier Based Air Logistics (CABAL) study was to identify and evaluate alternative logistics support policies which could improve wartime aircraft availability and operational performance. A key study task was to examine in further detail a specific alternative to the current logistics support structure outlined in the Defense Resource Management Study (DRMS). In addition to addressing the DRMS structural alternative, the CABAL study was to search out options for improving support policies within the current logistics structure. Development of a data base describing the configuration of avionics suites, and the characteristics of components that make up the suites, for the six aircraft to be considered was as essential first step in the analysis. Since the data needed for the CABAL study are essentially those required for level of repair (LOR) and logistics system performance evaluations, the study began with the premise that a central file containing most needed data elements was available. When this proved not to be true, efforts were shifted from trying to find a single source for the data to identifying sources for the individual data elements.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of afloat Supply Support Effectiveness on Aircraft Readiness has become a topic of increased visibility and attention to military planners and policy-makers, yet relatively few research analysis efforts have been directed toward discovering which elements of aircraft carrier supply performance are the most closely related to aircraft Mission Capability concepts and measures. In this report, the logistic support data base maintained by the Force Supply Staff of COMNAVAIRPAC is analyzed. Using well-known multivariate regression analysis techniques, the relationships between the performance variables and aircraft readiness variables are examined to find a statistically significant combination of variables that are representative of both aviation supply support and aircraft readiness. Based on the results presented, the conclusion is made that the number of off-ship requisitions (backorders) is the variable which provides the direct link between aircraft readiness and supply performance.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study project is to provide an understanding of how the basic issue and intent of the Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) process may be applied to a major NAVAIRSYSCOM aircraft program through interface and integration with the system engineering process. Preparatory to study project report preparation analysis of MIL-STD-1388-1 and -2 and associated military standards and specifications, and interviews with the authors of MIL-STD-1388 was completed. The study project report portrays application of the LSA and system engineering processes to the acquisition life cycle of a hypothetical aircraft program involving competitive prototypes in the Validation Phase. An overview of the LSA process is provided as it integrates with the system engineering effort in the progressive establishment of engineering specifications and baselines. Progress is related to design reviews and logistic system appraisals throughout the acquisition life cycle. Conclusions and recommendations center on the potential for successfully incorporating logistic considerations in aircraft design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aviation logistics system supports worldwide aviation operations with a wide range of resources. It provides services to the operational force along functional lines--maintenance, supply, transportation, procurement, support planning, and many subordinate services. It is involved in every phase of the life cycle of a weapon system and in every facet of aviation operations. In the face of this complexity, there is a need for enhanced integration across resource classes, functions, and weapon systems to ensure that the aviation logistics system delivers maximal peacetime readiness and combat sustainability with a specified level of resources. Moreover, resource allocations need to be consistent with the levels of readiness and sustainability reflected in the POM. A basic purpose of the PPBS is to allocate the mix of logistics support resources needed to deliver specified levels of readiness and sustainability, and to specify those levels of readiness and sustainability in light of their costs. In this Note, the concept of the PPBS is extended to include budget execution and the day-to-day management of logistics operations because of the need for consistency in execution and management with the other stages of the process.

This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval Aviation is beginning a transformation into a new era of logistics support. The beginning of a U.S. Navy/Industry teaming effort started with the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 E/F program. The new aircraft is supported through both standard military logistics programs and a brand new commercial logistics application known as F/A-18 E/F Integrated Readiness Support Teaming (FIRST). The non-traditional contract with Boeing is intended to outsource some maintenance, supply and inventory control for the new aircraft onto Boeing. The intended benefits behind the new concept include reduced costs, increased supply responsiveness and greater efficiency through commercial logistics applications. Promising increased aircraft readiness and seamless implementation, both Boeing and U.S. Navy representatives have great expectations for the new system. Our research investigates the impact FIRST is having on F/A-18 E/F Operational Availability (Ao) through an evaluation of Supply Response Times (SRT) and actual squadron Mission Capability Rates for the period of 01 April 2002 through 30 June 2002. Our results suggest that although repairable parts are currently delivered more quickly through the FIRST program, the contract measurement of SRT may not reflect any long the improvements in F/A-18 E/F readiness.
