Abstract: Catastrophic item manager (IM) has to cope with two issues in Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF): the aircraft operating cost and mission fulfilment. Requisition objective (RO) plays a significant role in both of them. RO can obtain from adding operating level quantity, ordering and shipping time quantity, safety level quantity, and a rounding coefficient. ROKAF has to make a careful decision on this rounding coefficient. This is because it determines the inventory level of all spare parts for the ROKAF. Despite the changes in the air force's weapon system and the very different distribution of the aircraft spare parts, the ROKAF is still using the policy made 30 years ago. This study aims to prepare an economic defence operation policy and an efficient spare parts management plan by presenting the rounding coefficient policy suitable for the changing environment using the multi-criteria ABC analysis. This study is significant in that it prepares and presents a new plan for ROKAF's unique rounding coefficient policy, which is difficult to find in other countries or fields.
