This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A407973. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Cannibalization is a technique, sanctioned by the Navy, for maintenance managers to optimize aircraft availability by circumventing a slow or inadequate logistics support system Maintenance managers often make a decision to cannibalize without considering the total cost of their decision This thesis examines the costs incurred by an operational H-6O helicopter squadron to cannibalize major components and addresses the impact of cannibalization on the mean time between failure for the cannibalized components. The costs to cannibalize a T7OO-GE-4O1C engine, a tail rotor blade and an auxiliary power electronic control unit were calculated by assigning a dollar value to the increased manpower, consumables and flight time that could have been avoided if cannibalization were not used. The units cannibalized in 1996 were tracked by serial number through 1999 to compare their mean time between failure to similar non-cannibalized units for the same period The findings were that cannibalization considerably decreases the time between failure for cannibalized components which can have reaching effects on the size and costs of the Navy's inventory of spare parts. The increased manpower, consumables and flight time required has a significant impact on an operational squadron's workforce and budget..

Description:
In the literature it has been suggested that willingness to cannibalize might explain why certain organizations are better at developing radical innovations than other organizations. Yet, a closer inspection of the literature suggests that organizations may cannibalize on previous investments, capabilities, and sales, lending support for the notion of a three-dimensional construct of willingness to cannibalize. The construct was then tested using a sample of Dutch companies. The results confirmed the three-dimensions of willingness to cannibalize. The construct and its dimensions showed anticipated different relationships with other NPD constructs, e.g. future market focus and risk posture of top management. In a second, larger study involving a panel of Dutch SMEs the construct was further checked and its effect on the type of new products developed investigated. Two out of three-dimensions of willingness to cannibalize were correlated with turning out more radical new products. There also was a positive correlation with financial performance. The results confirm that willingness to cannibalize is a multidimensional construct and plays an important role in predicting new product radicalness. .
