The study develops a conceptual model of the Air Force logistics pipeline. The pipeline may be defined simply as the flow of material from procurement to usage, with consideration of all factors that affect that flow. The conceptual pipeline was divided into four major subsystems. The base and depot pipeline subsystems represent the repair cycle process through supply and maintenance. The transportation system composes the linkages between and within subsystems. The acquisition subsystem the procurement process for acquiring new and replacement reparable spares. The disposal subsystem eliminates excess and condemned assets from the pipeline. After evaluating various existing models, the Exchangeable Flows Model, seemed to most accurately depict the general Air Force logistics pipeline. The proposed conceptual model is an extension of this model. It adds detail to broad subsystems identified in the Exchangeable Flows model. Theses. (jhd)
