THE RAND/TAC INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM: VOLUME 3 - THE ANALYSIS DESIGN AND METHODS

Abstract

A description is given of the Rand/Tactical Air Command system for the collection, processing, and analysis of data, as implemented on an IBM 1401 computer, in the management and evaluation of aircraft operations and support at base level. The third volume focuses on analysis fundamentals: dependent and independent variables, data fields, sorting, data selection, and tagging. Areas of interest to maintenance analysts, such as aircraft turnaround and recovery, write-ups and break-rates, and job durations, are illustrated, the user being encouraged to explore the data imaginatively.
