Simulators for Maintenance Training: Some Issues, Problems and Areas for Future Research
Abstract
This report reviews past and present applications of simulation to maintenance training. Emphasis is on describing issues, problems and areas for future research as identified by recent authors. A variety of issues and problems are discussed under five headings--Application of Simulation Technology to Technical Training, Determination of Simulation Requirements, Design and Specification of Simulation Requirements, User Acceptance of Maintenance Simulators, and the Cost Effectiveness of Maintenance Simulators. Requirements for future research are discussed under the following topics: Evaluating the Cost Effectiveness of Simulators; Comparing Simulators One With Another; Determining Training Requirements; Determining Simulation Requirements; Developing Exemplary Simualtors; Developing Exemplary Mixes of Maintenance Training Media; Obtaining User Acceptance; Developing Improved Regulations for Maintenance Simulators.
