Economic-Physical Trade-Offs in Scheduling Missile System Checkouts

Abstract

This paper is concerned with a portion of RAND's study of automatic checkout equipment, which was initiated late in 1958 at the request of the Air Force. The project objective was . . . to establish the basic philosophy, concepts, and parameters for application of automatic test and checkout equipment to improve the operational readiness and employment of weapon systems. The primary activity then was to develop concepts, design methods and techniques, and decision aids to help make these test equipments and systems more effective--in short, to help make the best use of test equipment dollars to get the best weapon system performance.
