THE MEASUREMENT OF NAVAL FACILITIES MAINTENANCE EFFECTIVENESS.
Abstract
Implementation of recommendations of the Review of Management of the Department of the Navy and recent trends in Department of Defense policies require that the Bureau of Yards and Docks maintain a continuing effort to maximize the effectiveness of facilities maintenance resources. A means of measuring maintenance effectiveness would greatly assist in determining the capabilities of present systems and in spotting areas where greater improvement is needed. The concept of effectiveness is explained, and basic conceptual steps to be taken in its attainment outlined. Recent maintenance developments and operations in private industry and public agencies within the State of California are summarized. A proposal is made for use of military worth concepts in determining relative priority of work requests at the local level, including a report of two introductory experiments to test the theoretical application recommended. An ideal measurement system is outlined, with major measurement problems discussed and recommendations for further study listed. (Author)
