Project Title ATLAS: A Generalized Maintenance Modeling and Simulation Tool Suite
Service Army
Command AMCOM
Implementation Depot  
Project Lead Mr. Pete Grazaitis, AMSRD-ARL-HR-MB, 410-278-5895, DSN 298-5895, PJG@ALR.ARMY.MIL
TI Goals Supported S-1, C-2, P-3
Focus Area Work Load/Work Force/Material Management
Platform General Aircraft
Platform Specific CH-47, UH-60, AH-64, OH-58
Implemented Technology Class IX Forecasting
Problem Definition End items stalled in the repair process due to lack of parts
Proposed Solution ID subset of key parts for each aviation platform. Expand parts demand distribution library to include the parts identified. Define and populate the simulation tool with definition data representing the anticipated use of the weapon systems. Demonstrate improved accuracy in Class IX needs forecasting. Research and develop extensions to the simulation tool to demonstrate the forecaste ability. Transition the developed technology.
Expected Result More accurate Class IX foirecasts – reducing inventory requirements
Benefits Supply chain savings of 2-5%.
