Total Life Cycle Management of the Special Operations Craft Riverine

Naval Special Warfare Group 4 (NSWG-4) provides Special Operations Craft Riverine (SOCR) and boat crews for operational use within Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In this report, we analyze the logistics support provided for these craft. We review the literature dealing with life cycle cost, lif...

Horvik, Lasse Kang, Keebon Boudreau, Michael W. Graduate School of Business & Public Policy (GSBPP) Naval Special Warfare Group 4 (NSWG-4) provides Special Operations Craft Riverine (SOCR) and boat crews for operational use within Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In this report, we analyze the logistics support provided for these craft. We review the literature dealing with life cycle cost, life cycle management, operational availability, and repair kitting as they relate to the logistics support for the SOCR. We create a model for determining required pre-staged inventories needed to maintain an objective availability for SOCR. We also create a simulation to analyze the impacts of parameters affecting operational availability. We use the literature review and data analysis to inform recommendations to improve logistics support for the SOCR. 2013-02-15T23:13:20Z 2013-02-15T23:13:20Z 2012-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/27797 Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
