MERBS is a business process and decision support system that provides the capability to achieve specified weapon system Ao or FMC goals and minimize investment in spares inventories. It can also maximize readiness at a fixed cost. The CACI developed MERBS Workstation and CRCS/CADS provides the tools to evaluate future weapon system improvements, to optimize the readiness oriented logistics support infrastructure and to reduce the total cost of weapon system ownership.

• Project oriented process for wholesale levels and retail allowance computation
• Links supply echelons (wholesale and retail) in sparing and allocation decisions
• Considers impact of customer wait time and failures on customer performance
• Integrates DLA requirements into the process
• Considers numerous logistics elements, mission scenario and redundancy
• Expands and contracts demand by NIIN considering out-year changes in population of applicable weapon systems
• Links wholesale and simulation-based retail models to produce multi-echelon, multi-indenture, readiness-based allowances
• Provides specified readiness for lowest cost or optimum readiness for specified funding

Readiness-Based Solution System

CRCS/CADS is a client-server system that provides the ability to update all aviation usage rates and turnaround times (ITATs) every quarter and to produce AVCAL, SHORCAL, CAVCAL and Marine Corps PCSP, FOSP and FISP allowances in a timely and flexible manner. It fully integrates with the MERBS Workstation and thus provides the ability to build allowances targeting single indenture and multi-indenture, MERBS-based, aviation readiness goals.

CRCS/CADS Features Project oriented process for configuration management, rates update and allowance computation Workflow manages each project type through series of events Imports and integrates configuration data for aircraft, engines and GSE from multiple sources Imports usage data, merges with configuration data to produce failure rates by A/C and site Merges configuration and rates data to create candidate file, generate allowances and store historical data Links wholesale and simulation based retail models to produce multi-echelon, multi-indenture, readiness-based allowances Access is controlled and limited to secure user lists and passwords
