The objective of the study was to define, develop and propose an automated model by which supply support dollar outlays may be related to fleet capability. A set of simulators representing the supply echelons supporting the Sixth Fleet (except aviation) were developed. Output from the simulators was combined and synthesized to produce a single system-wide Requisition Response Time value. An additional model was designed that permits conversion of this measure into Supply Response Time (SRT) related to a particular maintenance action. Finally, the SRT is combined with the traditional MTBF and MTTR parameters into an equipment Operational Availability A sub 0 expression. Queuing models describing requisition processing operations were incorporated into an advance version of the simulation. The report includes a set of recommendations for reducing supply system response time as well as potential future uses of the S4 models. (Modified author abstract)
