The primary objective of this research was to develop a modeling-based methodology for managing selective maintenance decisions when the planning horizon is more than one future mission. First, the research literature for selective maintenance is presented. The selective maintenance literature is limited in that current models only consider a single, future mission. Next, background research is presented in which the selective maintenance model treating decision-making relative to a single, future ...
The primary objective of this project was to develop a mathematical modeling methodology for assessing the impact of cannibalization on fleet performance in order to identify policies for making effective cannibalization decisions and to study the impact of these policies on management of the spare parts supply chain. To achieve this objective, we pursued two research avenues in parallel. First, we developed and analyzed a "generic" cannibalization model. This discrete-event ...
The objective of this research is to investigate the use of a mathematical modeling methodology for integrating maintenance planning and sortie scheduling issues. First, the relevant research literature for both selective maintenance and fleet assignment is presented. Next, background research is presented, which extends a current selective maintenance model to incorporate sets of systems. Here a selective maintenance model for a set of systems that must execute a set of ...
