This research examines the spare parts data business models allowing the government to produce parts on demand (i.e., only when required versus long-term warehousing) and at the point-of-need using additive manufacturing. The research includes a survey of acquisition and engineering professionals within government and industry, and an analysis using an aviation case study.
