Analysis of the US Navy's Aviation DLR workload forecasting.

Abstract

This thesis examines the repair workload forecasting for depot level repairables (DLR's) managed by the Aviation Supply Office (ASO) and overhauled by Navy Aviation Depots (NADEPs). ASO was visited to gather actual and forecasted data on DLR repair workloads. Data was also obtained from the Navy Aviation Depot Operations Center. An analysis of policies and procedures used by ASO in preparing workload forecasts was conducted. Recommendations are made to improve the management of depot level repairables.
