The report presents a review of Navy procedures for overhauling P-3 aircraft. During fiscal year 1985, the Navy spent about $50 million for such overhauls. It was found that the Navy could increase aircraft availability and reduce overhaul costs by (1) performing more inspections to determine if overhauls are necessary, (2) scheduling overhauls more efficiently, and (3) concentrating the labor force on fewer aircraft. It was also found that the Navy has more production capacity than needed to overhaul P-3 aircraft. The findings are summarized and are discussed in greater detail in appendix I.
