A General Purpose Evaluation Model to Complement the Use of TRANSIM IV in Assessing Decision Alternatives. A Feasibility Study and Demonstration,

Abstract

This report describes the results of a study to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of a user-oriented general-purpose evaluation program (GENEVAL) in conjunction with the TRANSIM general purpose system simulator. Included are: (1) Discussions of the decision process and evaluation modeling; (2) A description of the GENEVAL program; and (3) An application to an illustrative maintenance support decision situation concerning shipboard inventory of spare parts. It is concluded that a general purpose evaluation program is practicable and that an explicit evaluation model and computation in conjunction with the TRANSIM system simulation provides useful guidance and meaningful quantitative results in dealing with Navy management problems.
