Abstract
An analysis is made of current Single Supply Support
Control Point procedures for developing a Repair Material
Requirements List. The objective of this thesis is to
minimize the expected cost of stockouts over all line items
subject to a budget constraint, given the probability
distribution of demand. The concept of static marginal
analysis is applied in the generation of a revised Repair
Material Requirements List. The revised and the present
generation techniques are compared by the use of a simulation
of a R3350 aircraft engine overhaul production facility.
Results indicate that the Poisson probability distribution
function closely matches the demands experienced on the
contract used for investigation. Results further indicate
that drastic reductions in the number of stockouts, and in
the number of orders, can be effected by the use of static
marginal analysis in the generation of the Repair Material
Requirements List.
