• Lead sustainment decision analysis for fielded aircraft systems, including maintenance-level, repair-versus-replace, repair-location, spares, manpower, and support-equipment assessments.
• Build integrated fleet-readiness and availability models connecting reliability, maintainability, repair turnaround, inventory, labor, utilization, capacity, and cost.
• Analyze maintenance, failure, repair, logistics, workforce, supply-chain, and fleet-operations data to identify downtime drivers, bottlenecks, readiness risks, and sustainment opportunities.
• Develop demand forecasts, spares recommendations, provisioning strategies, lifecycle-cost models, and economic trade studies.
• Evaluate repair capability, tooling, facilities, test equipment, and support-equipment investments by quantifying capacity, risk, readiness impact, and lifecycle value.
• Translate analyses into decision packages, executive briefings, recommendations, action plans, and repeatable analytics processes.
