Integrated Maintenance Information System: An Imaginary Preview.
Abstract
This paper describes how a typical maintenance technician in a few years might use a well-integrated maintenance information system. The system is envisioned as having a local (base-level) computer tied to a central computer at an Air Logistics Center. The local computer would provide information for shop (intermediate-level) and flight-line (organization-level) maintenance. It would drive on-the-job training as well as provide technical data for performance of maintenance tasks and accomplish many record-keeping tasks. An on-board computer also would be used in conjunction with up-to-date information provided by the local and the central computers. Special provisions would be made to assure the acceptability and useability of the system to the technician. If such a system is to materialize, it must be planned now; and planned as one system. If prompt action is not taken, many uncoordinated systems may be developed. The envisioned system would not only improve maintenance, but it may be a necessary condition for effective maintenance under combat conditions. (Author)
