Seaborne Mobile Logistic System (SMLS) Maintenance Optimization Model, Version II-Users's Manual.

Abstract

The SMLS Maintenance Optimization Model, Version II, is a computer simulation program designed to help determine the optimal maintenance configuration and resource requirements for the maintenance subsystem of the Seaborne Mobile Logistic System (SMLS). This model is an updated version of an earlier SMLS model. In this model, failure/repair cycles for each end item in the Landing Force are simulated over a specified mission length by the use of event generators, queuing and Monte Carlo techniques. Measures of effectiveness such as utilization statistics for the maintenance system configuration and the availability of end items in the Landing Force, are computed. In addition, the effect of the maintenance configuration on the availability of the end items in the Landing Force and on requirements for resources such as the operational readiness float (ORF), maintenance space, and repair parts are examined. This report describes work performed up to August 1973.
