Myron Hecht, Jady Handal, Frank Demarco, "An Analytical Model for Predicting
the Impact of Maintenance Resource Allocation on National Airspace System Availability",
National Research Council Transportation Research Board 79th Annual Meeting, Washington,
DC, January, 2000
This paper presents an analytical model and software tool that can be used by non-experts
to relate FAA maintenance resources including staffing, training, shift allocation,
and geographicaldeployment to NAS facility and service downtime and availability.
The analytical methodology and tool presented in this paper make it possible for
any user to rapidly assess how changes in staffing, training, equipment count, and
reliability will impact outage time, availability, maintenance backlog and technician
utilization. It allows users to easily perform parametric studies on a variety of
"what if" scenarios related to economics and capacity. The most significant benefit
is that these results can now be made available to analysts and decision makers.
The net result will be more informed decisions that to account for the impact of
maintenance resources on NAS capacity and overall economics.
