Extended Parts Requirements and Cost Model (PARCOM). Functional Description. (Short Title. Extended PARCOM Functional Description).

摘要

The basic Parts Requirements and Cost Model (PARCOM), developed at the US Army Concepts Analysis Agency, was redesigned to include partial substitution parts replacement policies and other features lacking in the basic PARCOM. The redesigned model is documented and denoted as Extended PARCOM. Extended PARCOM provides the Army with an analytical tool for quick reaction, gross estimation of wartime spare parts requirements and costs as they relate to flying hour and availability objectives and to part replacement policies. The model also assists in the identification of problem parts and possible causes of the problems. The Extended PARCOM Functional Description is structured to provide a user with detailed information on Extended PARCOM model logic and restrictions. Additional information on model application may be found in the Extended PARCOM User's Guide, published separately.
