The Military Services can reduce peacetime maintenance
personnel cos.s by millions by improving its systems to
determine peacetime and wartime requirements and by planning
greater use of reserve personnel to meet certain wartime
maintenance workloads. Findings/Conclusions: The opportunity to
reduce these costs exists because the services can correct
weakiesses in their system.. Ttese weaknesses cause overstated
requirements and usually attempt to staff peacetime below-depot
maintenance organizations with sufficient active duty personnel
to meet wartime mobilization needs. Recommendations: The
Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretaries of the
selvices to: (1) improve the manpower requirements determination
pro ess by insisting upon evaluation of the criticil assumptions
concerning the use of forces and their impact on below-depot
aircraft maintenance manpower and modifying manpower
determination systems to include current, accurate, and reliable
manpower determination factors and maintenance data; and (2)
develop alternatives for greater use of reserves while
determining the most cost-effective and appropriate mix of
forces factive and reserve) to meet the below-depot-level
maintenance personnel requirements. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacfb0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
