ABSTRACT 


An analysis is made of the formulae used by the Navy’s Inventory 
Control Points in calculating the variance of Net Leadtime Demand of repairable 
items. A new formula is then derived, which makes use of actual calculations of 
covariance between regenerations and demands. The resulting variance values 
derived from the new formula are compared with the variance values resident on 
the Navy’s Ships Parts Control Center data base and are shown to produce lower 
variances. The new formula is also compared to the option path formula to 
determine which formula produces the smallest variance. The comparison suggests 
an under-estimation of variance results when the option path with its estimate of 
the covariance is used. The thesis concludes with recommendations for 


implementation of the new formula.

I. INTRODUCTION 


A. BACKGROUND 

In the U.S. Navy there are approximately 228,800 items classified as 
repairables. The responsibility for managing these items is shared between the 
Navy’s two inventory control points (ICPs), the Aviation Supply Office (ASO) in 
Philadelphia, PA., and Ships Parts Control Center (SPCC) in Mechanicsburg, PA. 
The tota] dollar value of these items is in excess of $28 billion with an annual 
Navy Stock Fund (NSF) budget for procurement of just under $2 billion [Ref 1]. 
To manage the inventories of these high dollar value items, the ICPs use a 
complex mathematical model which incorporates formulae for the calculation of 
means and variances of attrition demand over a net leadtime of procurement for 
specific items. 

The mean net leadtime demand calculated is called the Procurement Problem 
Variable (Z) and the variance of that demand is called the Procurement Problem 
Variance (V). These two parameters are key elements in determining the 
procurement quantity that 1s necessary to maintain a repairable item inventory at 
prescribed protection levels. Specifically, the mean is the quantity that should be 
available to meet the average demand over the net leadtime. Additionally, a 
percentage of the square root of the variance (standard deviation) could be 
purchased to meet any additional demand that may be experienced. This is 
essentially a safety level [Ref 2]. The sum of the mean and safety level is the 
procurement réorder point used by the ICPs. 

If, in the calculation of the variance, an error is made resulting in too large a 
value, more safety stock than necessary may be held. This would tie up money 
in unnecessary stock and prevent it from being used elsewhere. If the variance 
calculation was too small, not enough material would be available, resulting in 
the chance of a ‘stock-out’ being higher than desired. 

In the late seventies, the ICPs recognized that the variance model being used, 
generally calculated variance values that were too high. Two attempts to correct 


this situation were then incorporated into the model. One was a result of a 


iL 


study completed by Fleet Material Support Office (FMSQO) in 1977 [Ref 3]. This 
study hypothesized that the large variances were a result of ignoring a dependent 
relationship between the quarterly demand for an item and the quarterly 
regeneration of carcasses that were returned for repair. The dependent 
relationship manifests itself as a covariance between these two random variables. 
This was ignored in the original model when calculating the variance of the net 
leadtime demand. As a result of this study, an estimate of the covariance 
between regeneration and demand rates was incorporated into the computerized 
Levels program (UICP A/O D01) by the ICPs. This estimate was provided as an 
option path in the Levels program [Ref 4]. 

The second attempt to reduce variance was done by SPCC in a study 
completed in the same year [Ref 5]. To prevent excessively large safety levels 
from being created, a "patch" was added to the Levels program which performs a 
variance to mean ratio check for each item. If this ratio exceeds an ICP selected 
parameter, it modifies the program to recompute the variances of the net 
leadtime demand using a power rule formula [Ref 6]. 

The variance to mean ratio check, the power rule formula and the estimate of 
covariance are included in DO1, but the use of the covariance term is only an 
option. This option path is currently not being used at SPCC [Ref 7]. The only 
definitive reason for not using it was that the ICPs felt that the variance values 
that were obtained did not provide sufficient safety stock (.e., too small a 
variance). Thus, the large variances (that are not recalculated by the power rule 
because they do not exceed the ICP parameter) which precipitated the initial 
studies, appear to remain on file at SPCC. 

This thesis will look at possible reasons for the large variances mentioned 
above and will attempt to offer a method for estimating the value of the 


variances more accurately. 


B. OBJECTIVES 

There are two main objectives of this thesis. The first is to develop a 
theoretically correct variance formula for the net leadtime demand which will use 
the expected values of demand and regeneration rates to calculate the covariance. 
The second is to compare the theoretically correct formula with the actual 
variance values on file from SPCC'’s data base and the option path variance 
formula of DO1l. By the comparison with the latter, the degree to which the 
estimate of the covariance agrees with the theoretically correct formula for 


covariance can also be obtained. 


C. SCOPE 

The comparisons made to satisfy the second objective were limited to using a 
5% sample of items resident on SPCC's files. No ASO data was examined. No 
attempt was made to actually calculate safety level or determine actual changes 
in costs of stock which would result from different variance calculations. 
However, it follows that any reduction in variance, with all other factors 
remaining constant, would reduce the amount of safety stock required to provide 


a given level of protection. 


D. PREVIEW 

In Chapter II, the two alternatives to be used in this thesis for computing the 
procurement problem variance will be presented. In particular, the theoretically 
correct variance formula will be derived and the difference between it and the 
option path formula will be discussed. Chapter III contains a short discussion on 
how the data was acquired and the procedures used in the comparison of the 
three alternatives. In Chapter IV, the results of the comparisons are shown and 
discussed. Chapter V summarizes the previous chapters, presents conclusions 
from the analysis, and makes recommendations for further testing and 


implementation. 


IH. FORMULA DEVELOPMENT 


This chapter begins with a notational caveat and then discusses the concept of 
the procurement problem variable as the mean demand for an item over a net 
leadtime. It continues with an explanation of the variance formula used by the 
ICPs which includes the covariance estimate and variance to mean ratio check 
that is used to reduce the variance values. The fourth section presents the 
derivation of a theoretically correct variance formula which will be called "PVAR’. 
The chapter concludes with comparisons of the correct formula with the formulae 


that are currently being used at SPCC. 


A. NOTATIONAL CAVEAT 

Capita] letters are used to denote the mean values of the variables that they 
represent. Occassionally, there will be a need to distinguish between these mean 
values and the distributed random variable from whence they came. This will be 
accomplished by adopting the expediancy of using the lower case version of the 


symbol to represent the random variable. Alj time is measured in quarters. 


B. PROCUREMENT PROBLEM VARIABLE 

The Procurement Problem Variable (known as PPV and denoted by Z) is the 
expected demand over an "average acquisition time". The term "variable", in this 
case, is a misnomer. It is a mean of the distribution of the procurement problem 
random variable, not a random variable itself. However, the term has been 
accepted by convention, to represent the expected demand over a net leadtime. 

To develop this net leadtime, let B represent the average number of items 
regenerated per quarter and let D be the average number of items demanded per 
quarter. The ratio of B/D then represents the average proportion of demands 
that are satisfied by regenerations and 1 - B/D is the average proportion of 
demands that are not, and thus have to be procured. Next, let L represent the 


mean procurement leadtime and T represent the mean repair turn-around time. 


The average of the net acquisition time, L,, can then be represented by the 


following formula: 
(1) L, = (1 - B/D)L + (B/D)T. 


Multiplying this formula by the average quarterly demand, D, will produce the 


average demand over L.,. 
(2) itve= Ol).- BlL+ BT =e 


Equation (2) is the formula used by the ICPs for computing Z, the mean of the 
net leadtime demand [Ref 4]. 


C. UICP VARIANCE FORMULA 


The variance formula that was used in the middle 1970's was: 


(3) V =(L- T)[Varid) + Var(b)] + TVar(d) + D2Var(t) 
+ (D - BP[Var(]) + Vari(t)]. 


The above equation was pieced together from a Fleet Material Support Office 
(FMSO) Working Memorandum [Ref 3] and the current computerized Levels 
program documentation (UICP A/O DO1) [Ref 4]. The memorandum, which was a 
summary of a study completed in 1977, suggested changes to the above equation 
(3) that would reduce the variance of net leadtime demand of repairables. The 
problem of observed large variances at the Inventory Control Points (ICP) in the 
mid seventies was important to them because of increasing funding restrictions 
and budgetary. hmitations that were being imposed upon the supply system at 
that time. They recognized that a reduction in variance values would reduce the 
amount of money needed to fund safety stock. To accomplish this reduction, the 


ICPs incorporated the changes that were recommended by the study. 


The major change that was incorporated was an estimate of the covariance 
between the demand rate and regeneration rate of a repairable item. From the 


FMSO study the estimate had the form of: 


(4) Var(d)B/D 


The ICPs programmed the above covariance estimate into the variance 


equation as an option path. The option path has the following form: 


(5) OPTION = (L - T)[Var(d) + Var(b) -2Var(d)B/D] + TVar(d) + D?Var(t) 
+ (D - BP{Var(]) + Var(t)}. 


The above equation (5) is the same formula that is documented in the current 
Levels program. However, the option path, according to SPCC’s Operations 
Analysis Division [Ref 7], is not being used. The only variance reduction 
technique that is currently being used is a variance to mean ratio check and 
subsequent power rule recalculation of variance. 

The variance to mean ratio check and the power rule were implemented as a 
result of a study completed by SPCC in 1977 [Ref 5] which was also motivated by 
the excessively large variances of net leadtime demand that were on file. To 
prevent large safety levels from occurring, a "patch" was added to the Levels 
program which compared the variance of net leadtime demand, calculated from 
equation (3), with the mean of net leadtime demand, calculated from equation (2). 
If this ratio exceeded a preset ICP parameter (SPCC = 150, ASO = 450), the 
variance calculated by equation (3) was recalculated using the following formula 


(power rule): 


(6) VieewalZie 


where a and b are preset parameters. 


The above parameters (a,b) are currently set at SPCC as 4.849 and 1.502, 
respectively, and at ASO as 27.458 and 1.559, respectively [Ref 10]. These 
parameters are reviewed approximately every three years by FMSO. 

In summary, the current variance calculations at the ICPs are obtained by 
using equation (3) and the variance to mean ratio check with the power rule. 
The actual variance values on file at SPCC will be referred to as "V" throughout 
the rest of this paper. Note that even though equation (3) and equation (5) are 
calculations for the variance of net leadtime demand, V, to prevent confusion, the 
results of equation (5) will be referred to as "OPTION’. OPTION, equation (5), is 
only programmed as an option path and, as previously mentioned, is not being 


used. 


D. PVAR FORMULA 

The procurement problem variable, as shown in formula (2) can be derived in 
another way as follows. Let | be the number of quarters required for 
procurement of a new item. Let t be the repair turn-around time necessary to 
repair a carcass of the same item. The mean net number of items to buy to meet 


demand over | can be described by the regression function [Ref 9] as follows: 
(8) Elz ll] = 1D - (1-t)B 


This equation has the following interpretation. The first term, ID = IlE[d], is 
the expected number of items demanded given the procurement leadtime, 1. This 
value must be offset by the mean number of carcasses expected to be returned to 
inventory in ‘ready for issue” condition (RFI) over |. For the first t periods of the 
given | periods a number of carcasses are being repaired. The number of such 
carcasses is the consequence of the number of items returned to supply for repair 
prior to our time origin. After t such items can be used to fill demands. The 
term (1 - t)B = (1-t)E(b) represent a conditional expectation of those regenerations 
after our time origin. This is the reason for the negative term in (8). Using the 


basic rule of iterated expectations, 


(9) Elz] = ElE|z |1.t]]. 


It then follows: 


(10) 7 PL = 1B. 


which can be rewritten to show that it is identical to formula (2): 


Z= DL - BL + BT. 


To develop the variance of net leadtime demand, the regression function (8) can 
be used. Rewriting the regression function of net demand (z) on leadtime (1) and 


repair cycle time (t) provides the following: 


(11) Elz {1.t] = d - t)(D - B) + tD, 


and the conditional variance of z given | and t is: 


(12) Variz]1t) = ( - t)Var(d - b) + tVar(d), 


because we are summing (] - t) independent observations of (d - b) and adding it 
back to independent observations of d. 

Using the Lemma stated and proved by FMSO [Ref 10] (i.e., the unconditional 
variance is the mean of the conditional variance plus the variance of the 


regression function) results in: 


(13) Var(z) = (L - T)Vari(d - b) + TVar(d) + Var((D - B) + tB), 
= (L - T)Var(d - b) + TVar(d) + (D - B)?Var(1) + B?Var(t), 


because procurement leadtime and repair cycle time are independent variables. 
Since current repairables inventory management procedures [Ref 11] require a 


return of a carcass concurrently with a requisition for another unit of the 


repairable (i.e., a one for one exchange), this creates a dependent relationship 
between the number of carcasses returned to supply for repair and the demand 
for the same item. Accounting for this dependent relationship, twice the 
covariance between demand and regeneration (because each is dependent on the 


other) is subtracted from [Var(d) + Var(b)]. The following formula results: 


(14) Variz) = (L - T)/Var(d) + Var(b) - 2Cov(d,b)] + TVar(d) + B?Var(t) 
+ [(D - B)?Var(1)]. 


The covariance term from the above equation (14) can be derived using 


expectations [Ref 14]: 


(15) Covid,b) = Ef(d - D)(b - B)], 
E[db] - DB. 


When (15) is inserted in (14) the resulting equation, which will be called 


PVAR, for calculating the variance of demand over a net acquisition leadtime is: 


(16) PVAR = (L - T)iVari(d) + Var(b) - 2(E[db] - DB)] + TVar(d) + B2Var(t) 
+ [(D - B)?Var(1)]. 


E. FORMULA COMPARISONS 
If PVAR, equation (16), is subtracted from V, equation (3), the difference is: 


(17) V - PVAR = 2DVar(t)(D-B) + (L - T)2Covid,b). 


Adding PVAR to both sides and expanding terms results in an expression relating 
V and PVAR: 


(18) V = PVAR +(D?2 - B2)Varit) + (D - B)*Var(t) + (L - T)2Cov(d,b). 
Collecting terms and simplifying: 


(19) V = PVAR + 2DVar(t)(D-B) + (L - T)2Cov(d,b). 


It is interesting to note when PVAR would equal V. If we assume that L > T, 
then V = PVAR when the following is true: 


(20) DVar(t)D - B) = -(L - T)Cov(d,b). 


A special case of the above would occur when both terms are zero. That results 
from any one term (on both sides) being zero. This is not an uncommon event 
(i.e., Cov(d,b) and Var(t) equal to zero) as will be shown in the following chapters. 
Also note that if the covariance term was negative (1.e., E[db] > DB) and any 
term on the left side of equation (20) was zero (1.e., Var(t) = 0), then PVAR would 
be greater than V. Mathematically it is possible for the covariance term to be 
negative, but conceptually it is not since a probability of a regeneration will exists 
when a demand occurs and the regeneration rate can never be negative. The 
negative covariance term is not an uncommon event when working with the data 
and may suggest problems with the data on file. This investigation is left for 
further study. 

The same procedures as above can be used to compare PVAR and OPTION. 
For simplicity, let the estimate of covariance, equation (4), be represented by Cov’ 
and let the calculation of covariance, equation (15) be represented by Cov. This 


comparison results in: 


(20) OPTION = PVAR - 2[Cov’(d.b) - Cov(d,b)] + (D2? - B2)Var(t) 
+(D - B?Varit). 


As discussed above, if Var(t) = 0, then the difference between OPTION and PVAR 


reduces to: 


(21) OPTION = PVAR -2[Cov(d.b) - Cov(d,b)]. 


Then PVAR and OPTION will be equal when: 


10 


(22) Cov(d,b) = Covid,b), 


and PVAR will be less than OPTION when: 


(23) Cov(d,b) > Covid,b). 


This last situation, equation (23), will be discussed in depth in Chapter IV.

Il. FORMULA COMPARISON METHODOLOGY 


This chapter begins with an explanation of how the data was obtained from 
the files of SPCC and loaded to the Naval Postgraduate School’s (NPS) 
mainframe computer. It then explains the process used to compare the variance, 
V, on file at SPCC, with the option path formula for variance, OPTION, and the 


theoretically correct variance formula, PVAR. 


A. DATA ACQUISITION 

The data used to compare the three models was taken from SPCC’s data files 
on the Univac 494 computer. The data consisted of all repairable items with a 
cognizant activity code (COG) of 7H, 7I, and 7G. These COGs indicate that the 
items are specically managed by SPCC. The data elements necessary to calculate 
the variances were downloaded to tape via the ICPDAT (inventory control point 
data) network using the computer resources of the Operations Research 
Department (Code 93) at FMSO. The specific Data Element Number (DEN) and 
nomenclature of each data element are presented in Appendix A. It was 
necessary to access two different files to obtain all the data elements. The SIG 
(selective item generator) file was used for most of the data and the IHF 
(inventory history file) was accessed for specific data necessary to calculate 
expected values (for Covid,b)). Once the data was acquired, it was translated into 
IBM format for storage in National Item Identification Number (NIIN) sequence 
on the new IBM 3090 mainframe at SPCC. A mainframe data analysis package, 
SAS, was used to eliminate any NIIN which had blanks or data missing from any 
DEN. An example would be a NIIN that had data on the SIG file but no IHF 
entries and vice versa. For the purpose of this data selection, zero was 
considered a valid data entry, but blanks were not. Finally, a tape was obtained 
of the remaining data. This tape was taken to the Naval Postgraduate School 
(NPS) where it was uploaded on the IBM 370/3033AP mainframe and stored in a 
batch data file. Due to the size of the data (in excess of 47,000 line items or 


12 


NIINs), a 5% sample was taken from the batched data set and loaded to a 
private disk (B-disk). The private disk allowed interactive programming, which 
was not available if kept on the batch file. The 5% size was the largest sample 
size that could be loaded and stored on a private disk (1672K bytes of disk 
space). The resulting sample had a total sample size of 2,345 observations. Each 
observation consisted of a NIIN and all data elements pertaining to that NIIN 
that were needed for computing the variances being compared. 

Since the batch file was arranged in NIIN sequence, the sequential sampling 
technique [Ref 12] was used to ensure a continuous, representative sample across 
all NIINs. To obtain the 5% sample, the data was sequentially subdivided into 
blocks of 20 items. A number between 1 and 20 was selected at random to 
determine which item from each block would be sampled. The 5% sample, 


therefore, consisted of one item from each block. 


B. FORMULA COMPARISON PROCEDURES 

The V, PVAR and OPTION formulae were programmed on the NPS mainframe 
computer using FORTRAN. The actual code is presented in Appendix B. The 
resulting variances from each of these equations were compared to the 
corresponding variance obtained directly off SPCC’s file, V1. The file variance 
value is denoted by V1 to distinguish it from the programmed UICP variance 
formula, V. Vl was used as the comparison value because it is the actual 
variance used in the calculation of inventory levels. V was used only to compare 
it to V1 to see if the variance on file could be duplicated by a simple formula. If 
Vi could not be duplicated then some method other than direct calculation of the 
variance was used by SPCC. It is assumed that the power rules were used to 
estimate the variances of the components within the variance formula. A recent 
study by FMSO [Ref 8] indicates that the mean absolute deviations (MAD) that 
are used to compute the variances of several of the variables in the calculation of 
the variance are estimated by power rules similar to the one discussed above. 
The affect of the power rules and the resulting variance values is. left to further 


study. 


13 


As discussed under SCOPE, no direct comparison of OPTION and PVAR will 
be done with V. Thus, the comparison of variance values will be done between 
V1 (the values on file at SPCC) and V (the UICP variance formula), and between 
Vi and OPTION (the UICP option formula for calculating variance) and PVAR 
(the theoretically correct variance formula). 

A series of data checks were built into the program to remove any item with 
data that resulted in calculations of a negative Z, a leadtime demand of zero or 
less or D (mean quarterly demands) that were equal to zero. The last check was 
done to prevent division by zero when using the OPTION equation. 

The values of the three variances were tabulated in a series of output files. 
The output files were then divided into specific categories of demand for several 
reasons. It was important to reduce the size of the comparison groups to make 
data analysis easier in GRAFSTAT. When the data set is too large, the graphic 
output exceeds its capacity. Another reason is that the ICPs use certain mean 
quarterly demand values as a criteria for determining underlying probability 
distributions for demand during net leadtime. It was also considered important 
to separate the high demand items from the lower demand items since they are 
managed more intensely. A series of demand groupings were therefore defined. 
Costs associated with a stock-out are higher if the safety levels for these high 
demand items are inaccurate. 

The "Low Low Demand" items had mean quarterly demands of less than one 
unit. The "Medium Low Demand” items had mean quarterly demands equal to 
or greater than 1 but less than 2 units. Items with mean demands equal to or 
greater than 2 but less than 5 were grouped into the "High Low Demand’ 
category. The "Medium Demand’ category contained items with mean demands 
equal to or greater than 5 but less than 20 and the "High Demand’ items were 
those with mean quarterly demands of 20 units or more. 

In addition to V1, PVAR, OPTION, and V, the output files contained an 
identification number for a specific NIIN (I), the PPV (Z) value and various other 
data elements. Finally, the standard deviation or square root of each variance 


(except V because this was not in the comparison) and the ratio (V/Z) were 


14 


included. This ratio was used to look at how many of the samples exceeded the 
variance to mean ratio parameter at SPCC of 150. 

The output files were input to an NPS mainframe statistical analysis package, 
GRAFSTAT, for graphical analysis. The output from this package did not 
integrate well into a microcomputer word processor and thus was used only to 
find trends between the variance calculations. Once trends were observed, the 
original FORTRAN program was modified to produce summary data of the 
results. These results were then fed into a microcomputer. Using the 
microcomputer and Harvard Graphics, graphs of the summary data were then 


prepared and imported to WordPerfect 5.0 for use in this thesis. 


C. DATA FILE OUTPUT 

A total of 1,261 items (53.8%) passed through all the data checks. A cursory 
look at the items not passing the check showed that most of the items had mean 
demands that were less than one per quarter and many of the data elements had 
zero values. A large majority of these items were identified as new items 
because they were coded with Navy Item Code Numbers (temporary NICN’s 
appeared instead of NIIN’s) for which little or no historical data was available. 
Most of these items should have been screened from the data set during initial 
download at SPCC, but were not because of the presence of zeros in the data 
fields instead of blanks. It could not be determined why the zeros were entered 
in the DENs. However, zeros allowed them to pass through the initial screening 
but then caused them to fail the final data checks built into the calculation 
programs. In addition, some of these items were identified as having gone 
through a Cognizant Activity change (i.e., COG migration) which is a change of 
activity responsible for the supply management of the particular item or 
reclassification from an item having been identified by a NICN to an item which 
is now identified by a NIIN. This would cause a "disconnect" between data on 
the IHF (Inventory History File) which was associated with a NICN and the 
same item on the SIG (Selective Item Generator) File which is now identified by 
a NIIN. This normally would have produced blanks and would have been 


screened out initially but the presence of unexplainable zeros prevented it.

IV. RESULTS 


The data was run through the different variance calculations and the results 
were divided into demand groups as mentioned in Chapter III. Figure 1 shows 
the distribution of the items among the different demand groups.

As can be seen from Figure 1, most of the items were in the low low demand 


group. Those items that the ICP consider for intense management are in the 


medium and high demand group. Even though they are only a-.small percent of 


the total items in the sample. they reflect the relative percentages for the entire 


population. 


Figure 2 shows the percentage of items in each demand category that had a 


reduction in variance values (over V) as a result of the PVAR calculations and 


OPTION calculations.

Figure 2 - Percent of items within each demand group 
that showed a reduction of variance values by PVAR 


amma, OPTION. 


Note that in every demand category, the OPTION formula reduced the variance 


by a larger percentage than did the PVAR formula. 


The main reason for this is 


that a large number of items, when using the PVAR formula, had demand- 


regeneration covariances equal to zero. ‘This was caused by regeneration data 


17 


equal to zero. This did not occur when using the OPTION formula because it 
used the mean regeneration value that was on file while PVAR used the raw 
data to calculate mean regeneration. This suggests that mean regeneration 
values are being calculated at SPCC by some other method and not from data on 
file. The investigation of this point is left for further study. 

As can be seen in Figure 2, for the high demand items, PVAR reduced the 
variance for only 57.7% of the items. This was the lowest improvement shown by 
PVAR. Those items that did not have their variances reduced, fell into two 
categories. They were either items that had covariances equal to zero (in the 
PVAR formula) because of regeneration data equal to zero or the variance to 
mean ratios (as shown by V/Z) were greater than the variance to mean ratio 
check parameter of 150. In the latter case, V1 was computed using the power 
rule while PVAR was calculated as programmed (the use of the power rule in 
calculating V1 was verified by hand). 

Table I shows typical items in these categories. Item number 313 had a zero 
covariance when PVAR was used to calculate variance. Item number 1287 had 


V1 recomputed using the power rule. Finally, item number 560 fell into both 


categories.

A small quantity of the items (7 items with high demand and 14 total) from 
the output file had variance to mean ratios greater than 150 (V/Z > 150). Of 
these 14 items 4 had PVAR values that would not have passed the variance to 
mean ratio check. This suggests, in this particular case, the cut-off parameter of 
150 may be too severe. If this situation is true then not enough safety stock is 


being held to meet the required protection level. 


18 


For the rest of the demand categomes, Figure 2 shows that PVAR is only 
slightly less effective than OPTION, in reducing the variances of the sample. 
The main reason given that SPCC has not used the OPTION formula is that it 
calculates variances which have been shown to be too small to provide sufficient 
safety stock. If PVAR were implemented, then quite possibly the same would 
hold true. However, the discussions so far have been limited to the number of 
items for which variances were reduced, not the degree of reduction. To 
determine the degree of reduction, the differences in standard deviations (square 
root of the variances) were plotted for all items where V1 (the variance on file) 
was less than PVAR and PVAR was less than OPTION. From the plots, 
summary data was gathered and is shown in histogram form in Figure 3. This 
figure accounts for 94% of the items sampled. The other 6% of the sample that 
is not included are items where the PVAR formula calculated a zero covariance or 
where the variance to mean ratio exceeded 150. These items were discussed 
above. | 

In Figure 3 the data is grouped by the difference in number of items. Option 
shows a decrease in standard deviation over PVAR by a median value of 3. 
PVAR shows a decrease in standard deviation over V1 by a median value of 1. 
From the difference between V1 and PVAR it appears that for the same level of 
protection, ‘on the average’, less safety stock would be required if the PVAR 
formula was used. From the differences between OPTION and PVAR, the 
OPTION formula, “on the average", provides even less safety stock than PVAR. 

According to SPCC, the OPTION formula is not used because it reduces the 
variance of net leadtime demand too much and thus does not provide enough 
safety stock. On the other hand the variances on file (V1) are apparently too 
large and have been the object of a number of studies and program modifications 
to reduce their values. The PVAR formula, as presented in this thesis, reduces 
the variance, as compared to V1. However, PVAR does not reduce it to the level 
of OPTION. Thus, PVAR might be the solution to this dilemma.

V. SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS 
AND RECOMMENDATIONS 


A. SUMMARY 

This thesis has compared different formulae that are or could be used to 
calculate the variances of the net leadtime demand for SPCC managed repairable 
items. PVAR, the theoretically correct variance formula, was derived directly 
calculate the covariance between quarterly demands and quarterly regenerations. 
The differences between the OPTION formula (documented in UICP A/O DOI), 
the PVAR formula (derived in Chapter II), and the variance formula used to 
compute the current values listed on SPCC’s data files were discussed. The 
variance values listed on SPCC’s data files were then compared with the variance 
values calculated ‘by both the OPTION formula and the PVAR formula. Finally, 
an analysis of the results from the comparisons of the different variance formula 


was presented. 


B. CONCLUSIONS 

It is a well known fact that a large variance in net leadtime demand resident 
on SPCC’s file can result in unusually large safety stock. In the past, various 
changes to the UICP programs have been implemented which reduce the variance 
to acceptable levels to prevent large sums of money from being tied up in possibly 
unused and unnecessary safety stock. The current procedure is to make a 
variance to mean ratio check and to recalculate the variance of net leadtime 
demand if it exceeds a predetermined threshold. An alternative available 
estimates the covariance factor and uses the option path for computing the 
variance. This approach was designed to reduce the variance to acceptable levels 
by accounting for covariance between the dependent variables of demand and 
regeneration. The option path, if it were used, apparently underestimates the 
variance of net leadtime demand and would excessively reduce the amount of 


safety stock required. While this would reduce, considerably, the amount of 


dollars necessary to procure and maintain the safety level, it could also reduce 
the levels of operational availability of various weapon systems by not providing 
enough safety stock. 

The PVAR model, when used with complete and current data, reduces the 
variance of over 95% of the repairable items sampled. It also does not estimate 
the covariance of regeneration and demand, but calculates it directly and thus 
gives a more theoretically correct variance output. In addition, it does not reduce 
the variances to the levels calculated by the OPTION formula. By using the 
PVAR model, SPCC could reduce the amount of money tied up in unnecessary 
safety stock for those items which had large variances on file and redistribute 
some of the money to items which may require, for what ever reason, an increase 
in protection level G.e., more safety stock). This would possibly allow an increase 
in operational availability of weapon systems and at the same time could reduce 
the amount of money necessary for spares support. It would allow the ICP to do 


its job cheaper and smarter. 


C. RECOMMENDATIONS 

The results indicated here, should not imply that the PVAR model is a 
panacea for a restrictive funding environment. The model should be thoroughly 
tested and verified through simulation and under actual operating conditions 
prior to any consideration being given to incorporating it into levels setting. 

In particular, PVAR should continue to be tested using data obtained from 
ASO to see if similar results (as obtained in this study) apply to aviation 
material. In addition, simulation and actual field testing of PVAR should be done 
to see if the variance values that are calculated by PVAR provide for enough 
safety stock. 

FMSO has recently completed a new Functional Description (PD-80) [Ref 13] 
for a UICP program system design to forecast leadtime and repair turn-around 
time. The documentation and program are to be incorporated into the software 
modifications being made as part of the ICP modernization project. The 
procedures described in PD-80 include many significant improvements over D0O1, 


but the basic formula for calculating the variance of demand over net leadtime is 


22 


still similar to equation (5) in Chapter Il. When the PVAR model passes testing, 
corrections can easily be made to PD-80 and then implemented without delay. 
By correcting only the variance formula, and maintaining the other significant 
improvements of PD-80, the ICPs would not only operate more economically but 


also provide the necessary spares support for the fleet. 


D. RELATED FURTHER STUDY 

Further study should be directed toward the policy governing the use of the 
power rules for estimating the mean absolute deviation of the components of the 
variance formula. If the reason for estimating these MADs is due to lack of data, 
then this lack of data needs to be investigated as well. Blank data fields were 
screened out of this study. These blanks will affect the new Levels program (PD- 
80) that does not use MADs but instead calculates directly the variances of the 


individual components of the formula for variance of net leadtime demand.
