An Analysis of the Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Maintenance Standardization and Evaluation Program.

Abstract

The Maintenance Standardization and Evaluation Program is designed to evaluate personnel proficiency and equipment condition within the maintenance organization. This study examines the role and contributions of the Maintenance Standardization Program within the Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System. Evidence is presented which shows that the current inspection directives in SACR 66-6 do not provide the most efficient or effective sampling method for the amount of maintenance produced. An improved procedure is provided, based on statistical sampling methods, which will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of existing Minuteman Quality Control organizations. An example of the improvement in efficiency and effectiveness is given through the analysis of maintenance production and associated quality control activity at a sample Minuteman base. (Author)
