Product Description
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 A072814. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The F/A-18E/F is the latest multi-mission tactical aircraft to enter United States Naval Service. it generates power via two F414-GE-400 engines, each of which is composed of six modules. In addition to a new aircraft model and engines, a new concept, the 13 to D Repair Process, is being used for F414- GE-400 module and engine repair. in the 13 to D Repair Process, the intermediate level no longer repairs modules. instead, the depot level performs all module repairs. This thesis develops and exercises a simulation of the 13 to D Repair Process for the F414-GE-400 by incorporating simulated F/A-18E/F flight schedules and engine failures to populate the repair cycle. The simulation provides operational availability (A0) and probability to spare the repair process given an infrastructure and sparing profile. Three previous years of module failures and depot repair times are used to calibrate the model. Simulation results for the baseline studied showed the distinct influence of certain input parameters.
