(4) Develop overhaul and workstations kits to streamline CCAD component production and ensure availability of all spare parts required in overhaul within a timeframe to assure a repair turnaround time of 100 days or less and a FPY of ninety percent or better. (5) Provide 100 percent spare parts and logistical support functions in inventory management of spare parts associated with the T55 engine and components. (6) Provide support on selective endurance testing of engines to support analysis of predictable failures to assist in reliability improvement and predict parts and overhaul requirements for high op-tempo deployments.
