Book Description
The current USAF process for establishing C-130 PDM intervals does not account for the wide range of aircraft variables within each aircraft MDS. This paper develops an analytical model that C-130 maintainers can use to forecast when a C-130 aircraft requires PDM. The model is based on five unique aircraft variables: 1) aircraft age, 2) total flying hours, 3) average yearly flying hours, 4) mission profile (expressed as a severity factors), and 5) operating location of the aircraft. Interviews with C-130 SPO personnel, combined with the use of the C-130 Service Life Data Base, provided the required data for developing the C-130 PDM interval model. The C-130 PDM interval model developed in this paper allows maintainers and operators to predict the optimum time between C-130 PDM activities. It eliminates the requirement to base PDM intervals on aircraft MDS. As a result, there is a potential for significant savings by deferring PDM for a portion of the C-130 fleet. Finally, the PDM interval model developed in this paper may be applicable for other Department of Defense aircraft for which MDS is used is the determinant of PDM intervals.

Book Description
We determined the extent and causes of deferred maintenance on the U.S. Air Force C-130 aircraft used in support of operations in Southwest Asia. Specifically, we assessed the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) procedures for reporting deferred maintenance on the C-130 aircraft. We focused on maintenance deferred from October 1, 2004, through August 1, 2008. AFMC did not have an adequate internal control process for managing deferred C-130 aircraft Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM). Specifically, AFMC did not ensure that: PDM was performed by the scheduled date, C-130 aircraft obtained and retained the required PDM extensions, and a reliable process was in place for reviewing PDM extensions. In addition, partially deferred maintenance was not accurately recorded and reported. AFMC process for deferring PDM was inadequate because AFMC either did not have procedures or did not follow established procedures to comply with Federal and DOD regulations and Air Force instructions, including Air Force Technical Orders 00-25-107 and 00-25-4. As a result, the Air Force may have flown 36 C-130 aircraft that were considered unsafe and 11 of these may have flown over the course of 365 days or more.

A Repair Network Concept for Air Force Maintenance

Book Description
For more than 15 years, the U.S. Air Force has been continually engaged in deployed operations in Southwest Asia and in other locations. Recent Office of the Secretary of Defense planning guidance directs the services to plan for high levels of engagement and deployed operations, although their nature, locations, durations, and intensity may be unknown. Recognizing that this new guidance might impose different demands on the logistics system, senior Air Force logistics leaders asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to undertake a logistics enterprise analysis. This analysis aims to identify and rethink the basic issues and premises on which the Air Force plans, organizes, and operates its logistics enterprise. This monograph synthesizes the results of the initial phases of the logistics enterprise study. It describes an analysis of repair network options to support three series of aircraft: C-130, KC-135, and F-16. It assesses the effect of consolidating certain scheduled maintenance tasks and off-equipment component repair at centralized repair facilities. It also discusses an initial assessment of maintenance concepts that integrate wing-level and depot-level maintenance processes. Consolidated wing-level scheduled inspections and component back-shop maintenance capabilities would be more effective and efficient than the current system, in which every wing has significant maintenance capabilities to accomplish these activities.
