Description
Summary:Headquarters Air Force requested the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) conduct a study to determine the feasibility of quantifying the resource impact of deleting particular weapon systems for the Air Force inventory. Therefore, the purpose of this study was: (1) review the extent of weapon system visibility within the existing AFLC requirements data systems, and (2) conceptualize a management information system that would quantify (in a timely manner) the impact on AFLC managed and/or controlled resources due to a significant change in the force composition or weapon/support system capability. The study concentrated on the five areas that displayed the greatest potential for weapon system forecasting: (1) Aircraft Modifications, (2) Aircraft Replenishment Spares and Repair Parts, (3) Aircraft Initial Spares and Repair Parts, (4) Depot Purchased Equipment Maintenance, and (5) Civilian Personnel.
