DRAIR ADVISER: A Knowledge-Based System ofr Materiel-Deficiency Analysis

Engineers Doing so would reduce demands on the OR and equipment specialists responsible for the analysts and provide additional time for them troublesome part, or end item, review the to address more complex analysis problems. MDR to identify the possible cause(s) of failure. Further, with the turnover of personnel in the In the past, engineers and equipment military and the aging of the aircraft fleet, specialists have turned to operations research another objective was to capture expertise (OR) analysts to assist in item performance from personnel who are most knowledgeable analysis. This analysis is usually time consuming about specific aircraft systems and federal and personnel intensive and requires stock classes (FSCs) and make this expertise information from many Air Force data systems. Center (ALC), located at Tinker Air Force Base, data collection and analysis require two person-days. This document describes an item's to the automation of SOURCE DATA: The data used to prepare this report came from the following sources: 1) Product Performance Subsystem (G099), 2) Supportability analysis Forecasting Evaluation (SAFE), 3) Flying Hours (G099), 4) MICAP Hours (D165B), and 5) VAMOSC (D160B). MAINTENANCE DATA (D056): A total of 175 inherent failures occurred between JUL 1991 and JUN 1992, which translates into a Mean Time Between Maintenance Type-1 (MTBM-1) of 162 hours.
