A Schedule Management Technique.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe a scheduling technique which was used in the repair of an aircraft carrier. The paper presents the scheduling technique employed; how it was developed; its simplicity of design; its visibility, and its utilization. The thrust of the paper is to point out that a scheduling system is necessary to control and complete repairs on such a complex system as an aircraft carrier. Yet, such a scheduling system does not have to be complex. It is illustrated that simplicity of design lends itself to comprehension by all of the users. As the users comprehend the schedule, and its impact on various operations, they begin to accept its necessity and importance, and subsequently keep it updated in order to best utilize it. (Author)
