Abstract

Considering that military aircraft washing has a variety of requires and limitations, most of the works are completed in a manual way which costs more manpower and time. It is important and pressing to set up a reasonable standard time under the current downsizing of military personnel in different countries. This research studied a military aircraft washing operation at an air-force base in Hualien, Taiwan with stopwatch time study recording the time used in each section during the operation. Work sampling was adopted to develop the standard time of operations. With the establishment of the standard time, this research completed a sensitivity analysis of the number of washing teams’ members, the number of hours worked per day, and the number of military aircraft in a different rate of operation completion in search of an optimal strategy. This research indeed proposed a latest and effective manpower allocation plan of military aircraft washing operations for the reference of practical manpower preparation. At the same time, a reasonable set of work measurement standards is established in order to improve working efficiency and achieve the goal of military aircraft washing.

Key words: military aircraft washing, standard time, work sampling, sensitivity analysis, working efficiency
