Türk Hava Kuvvetlerinde malzeme ihtiyaç planlaması

Türk Silahlı Kuvvetlerinin en önemli vurucu güç unsurlarından biri olan Hava Kuvvetlerinin sistem idame işletme yaklaşımında Kurumsal Kaynak Planlama aktivasyonu ile birlikte köklü bir değişikliğe gidilmektedir. Bu değişiklik, bugüne kadar malzeme bazlı hesaplama yapılması sonucu alınan tedarik kararlarının, sistem bazlı yaklaşım ile hesaplama yapılan Vari-Metric uygulamaları neticesinde yeni bir şekil alması yönünde kendini gösterecektir. Aktivasyonun tam olarak tamamlanmasını müteakip kullanımına başlanacağı değerlendirilen bu hesaplama sisteminin sonuçlarının, ilk Metric hesaplamalarının birçok kısıdının üstesinden gelinmesini sağlayacağı ve merkezi tedarik maliyetlerinde önemli ölçüde tasarruf getireceği değerlendirilmektedir. Bu makalede, Türk Hava Kuvvetleri malzeme ihtiyaç planlamasının önemi, Hava Kuvvetlerinin bugüne kadar ihtiyaç hesaplaması için kullandığı İhtiyaçlar ve Dağıtım Sisteminin (İDS) geçmişe yönelik performans değerlendirmesi, başarı ve başarısızlık nedenlerinin sorgulanması, Hava Kuvvetleri Bilgi Sistemi(HvBS) ile kazanılacak Vari-Metric hesaplama yaklaşımının doğru sonuçlar üretebilmesi için gerekli çözüm önerileri, yeni sistemin muhtemel kazanımları ve gelecek araştırmalar için tavsiyeler ele alınmıştır. Sistem bazlı ve malzeme bazlı hesaplama sistem kabiliyetlerinin karşılaştırılması, gerekleri ve problem sahalarının araştırılması tedarik unsurlarında görev yapan personele farkındalık sağlayacaktır.

Material requirements planning in Turkish Air Force

Accompanying with the activation of enterprise resource planning software (HvBS), the Turkish Air Force (TuAF) is having a fundamental change on its system sustainability approach. This change will show itself on the acquisition decisions as a result of switching to a system based requirements computation approach, from a legacy material based one. Following the completion of the activation process, it is expected that the results of this new computation approach will provide constructive improvements on negative restrictions of initial Metric computation capabilities and remarkable savings on central acquisition budgets. This article discusses the activation process of the HvBS Material Requirements Planning(MRP) functions in regards to the importance of MRP, problems affecting the process, past performance analysis of the current system and investigation of its successes and failures, suggestions on system based Vari-Metric algorithmic approach that will be implemented as a new capability with the activation to be able to produce reasonable results, possible gains of this new computation system and future research areas. Besides, with the help of a comparison between the new system based and legacy material based approaches, the personnel assigned in logistics acquisition posts have been targeted to have a vision on possible needs and problem areas.
