Maintenance Training Simulators Design and Acquisition: Summary of Current Procedures.
Abstract
This technical report is the first in a series that will explore the problems of maintenance training simulation design and acquisition. It is focused on the existing procedures followed by Air Force personnel in performing Instructional Systems Development (ISD) analyses to define maintenance training equipment requirements, and by System Program Office (SPO) Training Equipment Acquisition Managers in accomplishing training equipment procurement. Later reports in this series will structure appropriate functional specifications for the acquisition of maintenance training simulators, will present handbooks to guide ISD analysts in selecting appropriate types of maintenance training equipment and in designing and documenting required maintenance training simulator characteristics and features, and to guide SPO Acquisition Managers in preparing Prime Item Specifications. In this report both the ISD and SPO procedures are described as they are currently accomplished. Relevant documentation is cited and a comprehensive bibliography is included. For each of the two sets of procedures, a general decision model is presented as a reference, and general problem areas which appear to be degrading the ultimate cost-effectiveness of maintenance simulators are discussed.
