Abstract

This paper studies the optimal inventory levels of P-3 assemblies in order to assure the required operational availability. A simulation model is developed for identifying the impact of the inventory levels on operational availability. Based on the result of the simulation model, multiple regression analysis is performed. Finally, the optimal inventory levels of critical P-3 assemblies are determined with integer programming. Additionally, sensitivity analysis of depot maintenance period is also conducted for its impact on the operational availability.

Key Words: Operational Availability, Optimal Inventory Level, Simulation, Multiple Regression Analysis, Integer Programming
