Abstract
We describe two simulation models for repair processes
of aircraft in the Navy, and suggest ways to reduce cycle
time and improve readiness. The models illustrate the
effects of material availability and process redesign on
repair cycle time and work-in-process inventory levels
for critical components. Our results indicate that the
Navy could significantly reduce repair cycle times of
those components by increasing stock levels of relatively
inexpensive repair parts and slightly modifying current
repair processes.
