This thesis analyzes the potential for consolidating duplicate maintenance
capabilities of Navy Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Departments (AIMDs) located in
the same geographical area. The expected benefits and drawbacks of consolidation are
examined. The benefits discussed include manpower reduction, support equipment
reduction, inventory reduction, and increased productivity. The drawbacks discussed
include increased transportation costs, facilities modification costs, impacts on customer
service, additional maintenance management and administrative responsibilities, and
reduced military resiliency. The thesis discusses options regarding the organizational and
service levels consolidated, candidates for consolidation, locations of consolidated repair
capabilities, and management of consolidated items. The thesis also analyzes the
commonality in manning, automatic test equipment, and specific component repair
capabilities of the two AIMDs located in San Diego, California: Naval Air Station North
Island AIMD and Naval Air Station Miramar AIMD.
