Army Electronic Equipment Support Options: Assessment of Maintenance Complexity.

Abstract

The report describes an approach to quantifying maintenance complexity. The approach entails application of a taxonomy defining the indicators predictive of the criterion measures of three components of maintenance complexity: inherent complexity (factors related to equipment design); job complexity (factors related to job design); and apparent complexity (factors representing the gap between skill requirements and those possessed by an individual). Research conducted in these subject areas is referenced. Steps required to validate the proposed approach are identified. Potential applications of the approach are in the defense system acquisition review process and in the manpower/personnel/training policy and plans area. (Author)
