Abstract

Naval maintenance system carries out repairs of battle ships. Korean Navy has four maintenance stations to maximize the readiness of the battle ships. Since each station can provide different services according to characteristics(specific size of ships, type of maintenances) and the maintenance ability of stations is predetermined, it has been one of complex problems for the Korean Navy to find the optimal resource allocation. We investigate the operation of the stations from the perspective of the human resource allocation which plays crucial role in the performance of the maintenance stations. Using a queueing model and optimization technique, we present a way to derive the optimal personnel allocation which minimize the waiting number of battle ships at each station, leading to the improvement of the military readiness in the Korean Navy.

해군 정비체계는 전투함정을 수리하는 역할을 수행한다. 한국 해군은 전투함정의 전비태세를 최대화하기 위해 4개의 정비창을 운용하고 있다. 각 정비창은 함정 유형, 정비 종류, 정비 능력에 따라 다른 정비 서비스를 제공하는 특성으로 인해 정비인력을 각 정비창에 최적으로 할당하는 것은 어려운 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 정비창의 성능척도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 정비인력의 할당 측면에서 정비창의 운용을 연구하였다. 대기행렬 네트워크 이론, 분해 및 최적화 기법을 이용하여 본 연구에서는 정비체계 내 대기 중인 고장 함정의 수를 최소화할 수 있는 정비인력 할당 모형을 제시한다.
