reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1054225 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The goal of this research is to explore potential efficiencies and cost savings implementing fleet maintenance centers and mission generation bases for the KC-46A enterprise. AMCA4 is proposing a KC-46A enterprise-level management strategy focusing on maintenance and sustainment. This management strategy leverages new ideas and commercial fleet management concepts with the intent of maximizing efficiencies and aircraft availability while reducing potential redundancies and excess in infrastructure, maintenance personnel and operations and sustainment costs HQAMC, 2013. The KC-46 fleet would have primary fleet maintenance centers with other bases serving primarily as mission generation bases. It is assumed that implementing this type of strategy will create efficiencies and cost savings for the program.
