Abstract

The two-level maintenance (TLM) concept is being advocated as a means of increasing support capability and reducing the total cost of system maintenance. Traditionally, the Air Force has used a three level maintenance concept, with a heavy emphasis on base level, in-shop repair. In the 1970s and 1980s, this approach to maintenance and the expanding technology of automated test systems resulted in sophisticated and powerful, but costly and resource-consuming automated test systems being developed and deployed worldwide. With continuing advances in reliability, and emphasis on supportable designs, it is apparent that, under certain combinations of resource costs, item reliability, and usage rates, two levels of maintenance provide more support at less cost and consume less resources than does three-level maintenance. The objective of TLM is to eliminate, when feasible, the base-level repair shop from the maintenance structure. The authors explore the rationale behind and the methods of identifying the optimum level of repair, and explain why it is necessary to analyze the requirements before assigning a particular maintenance task to a certain level of maintenance.<>

为满足TLM概念而设计的ATE的物流影响和影响

两级维护(TLM)概念被提倡作为增加支持能力和降低系统维护总成本的一种手段。传统上，空军使用三级维修概念，重点放在基层维修上。在20世纪70年代和80年代，这种维护方法和自动化测试系统的扩展技术导致了复杂的和强大的，但是昂贵的和消耗资源的自动化测试系统被开发和在世界范围内部署。随着可靠性的不断进步，以及对可支持设计的强调，很明显，在资源成本、项目可靠性和使用率的某些组合下，二级维护比三级维护以更低的成本和消耗更少的资源提供更多的支持。TLM的目标是在可行的情况下，从维修结构中消除基层维修车间。作者探讨了确定最佳维修水平的基本原理和方法，并解释了为什么在将特定的维修任务分配给一定水平的维修之前有必要分析需求。
