Operational Priorities (OPSPRI) Model. Version 1.1. Users Manual

Headquarters Air Force's Operations/Logistics Working Group has developed a scheme for allocating logistics resources to units based on their operational priorities. This method ensures that a unit's level of support reflects the criticality of its mission but retains balanced support across the entire force. The OPSPRI model implements this scheme for allocation of war readiness spares kit/base level self sufficiency spared funding and provides several measures of resulting capability. The model uses aircraft availability curves from the Air Force's Weapon System Management Information System (WSMIS) to relate support levels. It uses implied turn rates from WSMIS flying-hour scenarios to estimate available sorties. In performing a funding allocation, the user may adjust funds for a particular priority group, theater, major command, mission design, or unit. This manual explains the model, its data requirements, and the concepts behind it.
