Improving Operational Readiness through Increased Reliability and Maintainability.

Abstract

The Naval Material Command, through the mechanism of the Detection Action Response Technique (DART) program, selects equipment in order of the problems each is observed causing in the fleet and invests an amout of money based on certain specific improvements estimated to be achievable. Problem equipments are ranked by a composite frequency of occurrence system weighted arbitrarily. The system works down the list until all available funds are expended. This system can be improved by better relating the impact of poor reliability and maintainability to the loss of operational readiness caused thereby. (Author)
