This book was released on 2002 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the United States Air Force has faced a variety of unforeseen challenges. On the one hand, a significant portion of the force has been engaged in a range of contingency as well as peacekeeping operations. On the other hand, a once-robust economy led many to leave the force in unexpected numbers during the 1990s. The result has been a mismatch between Air Force taskings and available personnel. This report outlines the findings of a study whose objective was twofold: first, to review the methodology that the Air Force uses to determine active-duty enlisted manpower requirements in aircraft maintenance; and second, to investigate whether these requirements and their resulting authorizations have been underestimated. Toward this goal, the study assesses the Logistics Composite Model (LCOM), a statistical simulation model that the Air Force uses to gauge direct maintenance man-hours, as well as the AirForce-wide regulations that establish ceilings on available hours. The report concludes that maintenance manpower requirements are in fact underestimated in the Air Force, largely because the service's manpower processes do not adequately account for all the tasks that maintainers in the field must undertake. Accordingly, the report recommends that Air Force policies and analytical tools be reexamined and appropriately refined to better reflect maintenance manpower needs.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force units have found differences between authorized and actual numbers of personnel, partly because of deployments. Using historical and other data and interviews, the authors assessed the wing-level effects of these disparities including skill levels and personnel tempo. The recommendations include improvements in manpower bookkeeping and requirement determination, use of dynamic simulation models, and implementation of suitable metrics.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of research designed to improve the ability of the Department of Defense to relate manpower resources to defense capabilities. It provides an analysis of the four large Monte Carlo simulation models: LCOM, SPECTRUM, ALOM, and TSAR; it also describes the similar structure of maintenance-manpower/sortie-generation models. The report also discusses several ground-force models, although their role in detailed manpower planning is not quite so directly applicable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since manpower is the largest consumer of Air Force dollars, the problem of determining accurate manpower requirements has been present throughout the existence of the Air Force. An emphasis is placed on accurate maintenance manning, primarily due to the scale of the maintenance task. The problem is that no systematic research has been performed to determine if current methods provide for an equitable distribution of aircraft maintenance manpower within the constraints of efficient resource utilization. The thesis identifies conditions that have molded manpower and maintenance policies in the past and follows their evolving path to the methods of determining aircraft maintenance manpower as of 1972.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The methodology developed in this research can be used to quantify and compare the key factors that allow the U.S. Air National Guard to generate peacetime training sorties with a fairly small full-time workforce. The authors apply these insights to proposed Total Force Integration initiatives to evaluate maintenance options for supporting associate units, where the goal of the unit is to produce trained pilots in the most efficient manner possible. The methodology evaluates how various types of personnel can influence the size and productivity of a unit." -- publisher's website.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 25 to 30 years, the active Air Force has made dramatic changes in the organization and structure of fighter aircraft maintenance units, while Air National Guard (ANG) maintenance units have remained substantially the same. The acceptance of the gaining-command concept in 1960 effectively bound the ANG to abide by the training and policy guidelines of the active Air Force. According to this concept each Air National Guard unit is aligned by mission with an active Air Force major command. During peacetime each major command is responsible for providing policy guidelines and monitoring the training of each of its designated units to include conducting operational readiness inspections (ORI). Upon mobilization the various Guard units are integrated with their gaining command to complete a total force structure capable of meeting wartime contingencies. The Vietnam experience taught us some lessons about organizing for combat and training the way we plan to fight. The active tactical air forces (TAF) responded to those lessons learned and to a changing environment by changing the structure of their maintenance organization. The changes that were made could affect the ANG's ability to integrate with the active forces when mobilized and to interact with them during peacetime training, exercises, and deployments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the results of a short-term review of 27 publicly available manpower studies to discover methods that other organizations could use to make "fiscally informed" manpower decisions. The studies exhibit varying methods for determining manpower requirements; however, the method used may not be as important as other attributes, such as the direct involvement of a senior decisionmaker.

Download or read book Predicting Powered Support Equipment and Associated Maintenance Manpower Requirements written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a need for a more responsive method for predicting the ground equipment (SE) requirements and the related SE maintenance manpower requirements associated with newly developing weapon systems. A study was conducted whose purpose was to develop such a method by first establishing the basic analytical rationale, and then by creating a users' guide for the method. A computer program was developed from an existing maintenance data collection program. It processes maintenance data on operational SE in order to produce the information needed to conduct a Logistics Composite Model simulation of proposed SE work centers for newly developing aircraft. Primary inputs are the standard 6-month maintenance tapes kept at base level, and completed AF Forms 864 which provide records of SE utilization. The program is currently in operation on the Aeronautical Systems Division's CDC 6600 computer. (Author).
Download or read book Manpower a Model of Tactical Aircraft Maintenance Personnel Requirements Overview of model development and application written by William Smith Furry and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1979 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes MANPOWER, a computer model for predicting the total force base-level maintenance personnel requirements of prospective aircraft in the USAF Tactical Air Command. The model is designed to be used early in the acquisition process when it is desirable to understand the probable total maintenance personnel requirements of proposed weapon systems. MANPOWER requires inputs concerning mission types, sortie rates, sortie lengths, deployment patterns, squadron size, peacetime base sizes, and maintenance workload. The workload can be expressed as maintenance manhours per flying hour or, if more information is available, in terms of mean-time-between-failures and mean-time-to-repair at the second digit work unit code level. Model output includes estimates of personnel requirements for the total force, for individual base size/deployment patterns, for maintenance squadrons, for officers and enlisted personnel, for overhead and supervision, and for major individual shops and groups of work centers.
