Development of Economic Effect Model for Field Operation Data Analysis Works

Abstract

Purpose: This paper presents a method to estimate the economic effects of field operation data analysis works. In particular, the presented models quantitatively measure the economic effects based on the availability, failure rate, and identification of frequently failing items identified from field operation data analysis works.BRMethods: To achieve this purpose, the presented models estimate the economic effects from three perspectives, namely value increase through realization of availability, value increase according to the realization of calculation of repair part requirements, and effect of quality improvement of frequently failing items.BRResults: The proposed models were validated by applying them to predefined operating scenario targeting a virtual weapon system. As a result, it was confirmed that the three proposed economic effect models calculated the economic effects for each weapon system.BRConclusion: Several models for quantitatively measuring the effectiveness of field operation specifications analysis were presented, and their effectiveness was verified through case studies. This study is unique because similar research has not been conducted in the defense domain thus far.
