Air Launched Cruise Missile Staging Base selection for Full Scale Development Test and Evaluation.
Abstract
A management decision is examined using the decision analysis method of Kepner and Tregoe. Four mandatory objectives and five desired objectives are established. Twenty-five air base alternatives are examined. Boeing, wichita (Air Force Plant 57) and Kelly Air Force Base satisfy all mandatory objectives. Edwards Air Force Base does not but is continued in analysis, an option allowed by the method. The three named alternatives are ranked based on the relative degree to which they satisfy each desired objective. Wichita ranks first, Kelly second, and Edwards, last. A decision risk analysis follows. The likelihood of failing to achieve objectives and the consequences of that failure are examined for each of the three alternatives. Both Kelly Air Force Base and Boeing, Wichita are acceptable. Boeing, Wichita, the highest ranked, lowest risk alternative is recommended.
