The research investigates the operational effectiveness of the facility assignments of the 4950th Test Wing Aircraft Maintenance Complex located at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, by analyzing the total distance traveled by the personnel of the Complex over a period of time. The frequency and distance of the interactions between activities in a given set of fixed facilities, and alternative activity locations were evaluated. The objective of the investigation was to determine if the activity-facility assignments could be varied to decrease the total distance traveled between the activities. The analysis uses a heuristic variation of the steepest-descent pairwise-interchange solution procedure for quadratic assignment problems and evaluated the activity assignments. The results of the investigation show that the location of the functional activities of the 4950th Test Wing Aircraft Maintenance Complex can be changed to decrease the total distance involved in their interaction.
