THE USE OF SIMULTANEOUS EQUATION MODELS FOR DECISIONS PERTAINING TO THE BEST MIX BETWEEN AIRCRAFT, SPARE PARTS, SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL
Published Date: August 1, 1974
The relationships between aircraft inputs (airplanes, spare parts, men, etc.) and the outputs of sorties or aircraft ready hours can be approximated reasonably well by a production function type model. It is the initial intent of this research effort to construct and evaluate such an aircraft carrier production function. This model will then permit defense managers to have better understanding of the actual input-output process of operating sea-based tactical aircraft.
