A STUDY OF AVIATION RESOURCES AND READINESS RELATIONSHIPS VOL III, THE RESUPPLY SYSTEM FOR NAVAL AVIATION SPARE PARTS
Published Date: June 1, 1970
Studies the relationship between aircraft readiness and spares usage at the squadron level, specifically for the F-4B, CH-53 and TA-4F. The study determines the best combinations of aircraft, maintenance man-hours, and spare parts for various budgets. Since the availability of spare parts is a big factor in aircraft readiness, a detailed examination was made of the spare parts resupply system, and recommendations are made for improving this system for decreasing the time it takes for a supply requisition to be filled. Additional recommendations are made for changing the current method of estimating the quantities of spare parts needed for a specific aircraft model.
