In November 1989, RAND presented a series of hypotheses and results from exploratory research to a group of senior Naval logisticians at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, as the basis of a proposed project on Naval aviation logistics. The proposed project was to consider how lessons learned in previous RAND logistics research might apply to the Naval aviation logistics system, particularly the operation of the Naval aviation depots (NADEPs), and to consider how the detrimental effects of uncertainty on mission capability, particularly in wartime, might be offset by management adaptations. One of the most pressing problems discussed at the meeting was how to supply repair parts to the NADEPs in a timely fashion. It was decided that one part of the project would focus on this material problem in an attempt to understand its dimensions and to arrive at possible solutions. This Note documents that research, which is expected to be of interest of logisticians, depot managers, and material support personnel in all parts of DoD.
