This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A232453. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The Department of Defense has historically relied on Wilson's Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for consumable item management at all levels. With inventory practices under intense Congressional scrutiny over the past decade, the Air Force Materiel Command has searched for alternative systems to better manage its consumable inventory. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is one such system, as is the MRP-based Repairability Forecast Model (RFM) developed by CACI. This thesis examines the wisdom of applying MRP logic in a remanufacturing environment. MRP has had some degree of success in environments where requirements are relatively certain and demand and lead time variability are not excessive. A remanufacturing operation, in contrast, is typified by a great deal of variability and uncertainty due to the very nature of repair. The experimental methodology involved the development of computer simulation models of EOQ and MRP systems. Demand uncertainty, demand variability, and lead time variability were then varied at three levels each to develop a full factorial experimental design. The results were used to test EOQ and MRP using two different performance measures: average number of awaiting parts (AWP) days per repair and total annual inventory cost. The results lend support for the use of MRP in a remanufacturing environment. The number of AWP days was significantly reduced from that of the EOQ system, albeit at an increased inventory cost. When the two measures are combined, however, MRP appears to outperform EOQ in aggregate.

ISO 3834-1:2005, Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials - Part 1: Criteria for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements
$64.00
ISO 3834-1:2005 provides criteria to be taken into account for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials, among the three levels specified in ISO 3834-2:2005 ISO 3834-3:2005 and ISO 3834-4:2005. It applies to manufacturing, both in workshops and at field installation sites. ISO 3834-1:2005 does not specify requirements for a total quality management system. However, quality management system elements where their inclusion will complement ISO 3834 are defined. This title may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.
