The Optimal Organization Of The Maintenance Service In Order To Maintain The Perational State Of Combat Vehicles Participating In The Conduct Of Military Operations

Abstract

Conducting military operations in optimal conditions must take into account the organization of the maintenance service as well. This study presents a computer application intended to design The Optimal Plan for the Organization of the Maintenance Service. This application has as theoretical support [5], but also intends to complete the module on the supply of spare parts shown in [4]. It is a useful application in the process of planning a military operation, the two modules, the one presented in [4] and the one presented in in this study, covering the logistic support in terms of the military equipment which includes the combat means, supply and storage of spare parts, supply and storage of fuel, maintenance facilities, as well as the human resource necessary to ensure this service.

Assessment Of Maintenance Needs Required To Preserve The Operational Status Of Combat Vehicles Participating In Military Operations

“…Obviously, in such an analysis, we can consider a certain percentage of the total number of interventions and hours of maintenance for operations that are unscheduled, but necessary in order to maintain the operational state of combat means. Additionally, based on this study the computer application presented in [1] or [2] was improved, application which establishes The Optimal Plan for the Organization of the Maintenance Service for the realization of maintenance operations according to the data sheets of the combat means and can be correlated with the information obtained in [3].…”

“…In this section we will resume some of the elements related to establishing the conditions under which the military operation is conducted and the tasks to be fulfilled within it, issues that are also described in papers [1], [2] or [3].…”

“…The number of maintenance operations, their type and therefore corresponding maintenance hours are related to the number of kilometers covered, and in this sense we must evaluate the average number of kilometers that will be covered by each category of vehicle in order to fulfill the n missions within the military operation. Likewise, given [1], [2] or [3], where the assumption that all the vehicles destined for the military operation are operational throughout its duration on the one hand was made, and on the other hand that they are distributed in a balanced manner for the fulfillment of the n missions, in the table below the average number of kilometers a vehicle in each category performs for the fulfillment of the n missions within the military operation is presented. With the help of these relations we will determine, just as in [1] or [2], the average number of maintenance hours required for each category of vehicles, which are given in the table below.…”
