An Evaluation of Main Operating Base Scheduling Procedures of the 552 AWACW.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the 552nd Airborne Warning and Control Wing scheduling system and to suggest possible improvements. First, a General Scheduling Model was formulated and adapted to the military situation. Then a set of five questions was developed for use in evaluation of scheduling systems. Next, the scheduling models used in Strategic Air Command and the 552nd Airborne Warning and Control wing were presented in detail. These systems were evaluated in accordance with the five question approach. Finally, some improvements were suggested to improve the AWACW scheduling model. The results of this study suggest that Tactical air Command should change a number of procedures if the AWACW scheduling is to be improved. The recommended changes would affect TAC's scheduling philosophy, help to educate all levels of TAC with respect to unique aspects of the E-3A, and improve the utilization of this new weapons system.
