This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT 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 A279093. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Current Air Force logistics information systems do not provide Air Force leaders and single managers a real-time sole-source logistics information system able to assess current capabilities and identify potential future problem items prior to becoming systemic problem parts. Centralizing information may provide improved command and control and support of the warfighter by reducing the time it takes to track down and identify information. Using a Value Focused Thinking approach, this thesis explored how the Air Force can improve the accessibility of Air Force logistics information. This study began at the behest of the AFMC LG/CD in an effort to determine what logistics information is important and how it might be centrally managed. Working with AFMC Logistics Group personnel, a value-based evaluation tool was developed to establish core requirements for an ideal centralized logistics information system. The value model was used to evaluate the status quo and two AFMC systems, WSMIS-SAV and TRACKER. This provides a base-line value of the current system and demonstrates how the model can be applied to evaluate other alternatives. The results show the status quo was the lowest ranking alternative..

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT 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 A232193. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Air Force supply doctrine requires the management of large numbers of spare parts in Mobility Readiness Spares Packages (MRSPs). The MRSPs are designed to support deployed aircraft for the first 30 days of a conflict, and can be quite large. When units from several bases deploy to the same operating location, they each bring their full MRSP. This results in a large logistics footprint that may be reduced by taking a system-level approach. This thesis examined the impact of centralized MRSP management on kit size and cost. The Aircraft Sustainability Model (ASM) computer program was used to evaluate MRSPs for F-15C, C-17A, and B-52H aircraft deploying in both the traditional manner and with customized MRSPs from a centralized facility. The results of the ASM analysis indicate there is a significant cost and size savings when MRSPs are customized for the total number of aircraft deployed to a region of conflict. While the size of the savings varied between aircraft and flying hour profiles, MRSPs from the centralized facility always provided the same level of support for less cost. The results show the Air Force could release 5 are arts in MRSPs and relieve the current 5 ares shortage without degrading unit readiness..
