Abstract

The growing interest in adopting performance-based contracts for complex and capital-intensive equipment makes it critical to invest in solutions capable of providing reliable recommendations. Discrete-event simulation (DES) offers versatile solutions and improvements to performance-based logistics (PBL) via the capability to model complex systems under realistic and dynamic conditions. In this work, we study a complex-two fleet system with the addition of a 'deterioration' factor to the spare parts used to service under PBL contracts. The results emphasize planning the basic stock level to fulfill during the contract duration and counter any negative impact of deteriorating spare parts during the end-of-life (EOL) of the PBL system.
