OPITMIZATION OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT LOGISTICS SYSTEMS

SYSTEM AVAILABILITY AND COST CONSTRAINTS IMPOSED ON TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEMS NECESSITATE CORRESPONDING CARE IN THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THEIR ASSOCIATED MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. IT IS NECESSARY TO FORECAST MAINTENANCE MANPOWER STAFFING LEVELS REQUIRED TO ENSURE CONSISTENT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WITHIN OPERATIOAL GOALS, AND TO PERFORM COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF TOTAL PROGRAM COSTS, INCLUDING SUPPORTIVE RESOURCES. EXAMPLES OF THE CONSTRAINTS AND TYPES OF RULES IMPOSED ON A RESOURCE ALLOCATION SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR APPLICATION TO THE SAFEGUARD BMD SYSTEM WILL BE DESCRIBED. BASED UPON THESE RULES, A COMPUTERIZED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED WHICH MEETS MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PAPER IS TO ILLUSTRATE THAT CORRESPONDING SETS OF REQUIREMENTS AND RULES CAN BE DEVELOPED AND ENTERED INTO SUCH A SYSTEM TO PROVIDE THE MAINTENANCE CONTROL, EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENTS, AND COST REDUCTIONS NECESSARY IN IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTEGRATED FACILITIES SYSTEM FOR MAJOR INSTALLATIONS UNDER THE COGNIZANCE OF CONARC, AMC AND OTHER AGENCIES. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY TRANFER ILLUSTRATES THE BENEFITS ACHIEVABLE BY APPLICATION OF THE RESULTS OF DEVELOPEMTN ACTIVITIES ON SUCH SPECIALIZED TACTICAL SYSTEMS.
