Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between predicted system reliability and planned spare parts levels. This will be accomplished through the integration of factors impacting spare parts levels and Life Cycle Costs into a spreadsheet model that will establish the appropriate relationship between the factors. This thesis will then attempt to determine the impact that varying estimations of reliability will have on both Life Cycle Costs nd spares levels for the H-1 Upgrades Program. / Major, United States Marine Corps

The purposes of this study will be to determine and pinpoint the problems of greatest current significance in electronic parts wholesaling; to describe and analyze the problems selected, utilizing case illustrations where needed to more effectively present the problem or possible solutions to the problem; and to indicate possible means of solving each problem.

Taiwan is surrounded by ocean; shipping industry is well-developed in this island. Evergreen, Yang-Ming and Wang-Hai are very well-known and also big shipping company in the world. So the industry of ships machine parts should be very well-developed here in Taiwan, but truth is it not very well-developed here. The purpose of this study was to find out the rules when shipping industries purchase ships machine parts, also how they recognize the quality, brand and service of the products. The study used case methodology and interview to shipping industry in order to find out the reason why industry of ships machine parts was not well-developed here in Taiwan. Hope the results of the study could made some efforts to future studies.

This study identifies the concepts of reliability, cost of downtime, cost of spare parts, and procurement lead time as the four key moderators of spare parts availability. These concepts are used to establish a model to manage spare parts inventories. Reliability was assessed in terms of developing failure predictions for major component categories. Cost of downtime was evaluated by identifying various methods for determining costs associated with downtime. Cost of spare parts was examined to find correlations with economic indicators. These correlations were used to predict future price movements. Yearly changes in lead time were identified and correlated with economic indexes to develop movement predictability.
