Analysis of the Effect of Centralizing Management of Mobility Readiness Spares Package Assets

<p>Current Air Force supply doctrine requires the management of large numbers of spare parts in Mobility Readiness Spares Packages (MRSPs). The MRSPs are usually 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.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
