Scheduling heuristics were applied to a model of the aircraft maintenence depot at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center. Since the C-141 aircraft was being overloaded into depot, heuristics which gave the C-141 priority were tested in an effort to reduce the mean and variance of the distribution of times the C-141 aircraft spent at the depot. One heuristic was found which reduced the average depot time by 4%. The significance of this decrease was calculated to be 91%. A similar heuristic reduced the variance by 81%, with a significance of 100%. Thus, the potential exists for improving the flow of the overloaded C-141 aircraft through the depot, using scheduling heuristics. (Author)
