A Development of Logistics Management Models for the Space Transportation System

NASA and the U.S. Air Force currently face policy decisions of fundamental importance to the formulation of a sound, coherent, logistics support strategy for the Space Transportation System (STS). The importance of these decisions is clear. They not only involve large amounts of money, but they also will shape the essential character, quality, and cost-effectiveness of STS logistics support. The policy decisions to be made include determination of the maintenance concept for the STS, i.e., the-location, depth, and scope of component repair, levels of maintenance, and repair responsibility; the modes of transportation to be used for retrograde and serviceable component shipments; the proportion of component repairs to be done at each level of maintenance; the amount of investment in tools and equipment and its allocation; the amount of investment in reparable and consumable spare parts; and the spares stock level, by location, of each of the system's components.

It presents the mathematical foundations of approaches to such methods and demonstrates their feasibility in the context of NASA's and the U.S. Air Force's need to develop a sound, well-formulated logistics support strategy for the STS program."@en
