Development of the Fleet Air Readiness Training Model for the Integrated Facilities Requirements Study (IFRS) Phase III. Volume I. Summary of the Fleet Readiness Training (FRT) Management Planning Tool.

摘要

This report documents the Fleet Readiness Training (FRT) Planning model developed as part of the third phase of the Integrated Facilities Requirements Study (IFRS). In Phase I, two analytic submodels were developed. The first, a Logistics Support Requirements Generator, estimates personnel, aircraft, and fuel requirements for each phase of undergraduate pilot training at the Naval Air Training Command (NATRACOM). The second, a Pacing Facilities Requirements submodel, calculates facility requirements for each phase of training. The purpose of the Phase II study was to develop a preliminary total systems IFRS management planning tool (including the two submodels developed in Phase I, as well as Base Loading, Facilities Excess/Deficiency, and Total Cost submodels), and automate the model so that it provides quick, accurate, and relevant information for use in the decision-making process. This Static IFRS model has been in continuous operation since March 1970. The purpose of the Phase III study was to refine the Static IFRS model and to expand the IFRS concept by developing three additional planning tools for use by Navy decision-makers as follows: Dynamic planning tool; Optimization model; and Fleet Readiness Training Squadron planning tool. The Dynamic planning tool simulates the undergraduate pilot training program on a weekly basis whereas the Static IFRS assumes an even annual flow of students.
