Generalized Electronics Maintenance Model (GEMM)

Abstract

The rapid advances in technology and the everchanging mission requirements of today's Army create a multitude of problems in the logistics support area. The effect that design parameters have on logistics support must be determined. This interaction between design and logistics support permits trade-off analysis for the express purpose of optimizing the logistics profile with respect to effectiveness constraints. In order to accomplish trade-off analyses in a timely manner, it is necessary to employ the technique of mathematical support modeling. A support model is a mathematical representation of an actual support system that permits detailed support requirements analysis and design trade-offs. The Generalized Electronics Maintenance Model (GEMM) is such a model, designed in-house by ECOM personnel for the study of ECOM equipments.
