This thesis is a study of the Naval Aviation Depot
streainlining and consolidation as a result of Defense
Management Review Decision (DMRD) 908. The Navy has conducted
extensive economic analysis of DMRD 908 but no study of the
production operations has been accomplished. This thesis
examines the consolidation of the F/A-18 aircraft F404 engine
and module repair at Naval Aviation Depot Jacksonville NADEP
JAX), Florida. The major thrust of the thesis is the
application of queueing theory and simulation techniques to
investigate the effect of production consolidation on the
engine and module repair operation at NADEP JAX. The study
examines how engine and module turn-around-time (TAT) and
work-in-process (WIP) would change when production resources remain constant and the number of engines repaired at the
facility increases. The thesis concludes that if all F404
engine and module depot level repair is consolidated at NADEP
JAX without an increase in production resources, TAT and
WIP will increase and available capacity for surge
requirements will be limited.
