Berthing and Utilities Requirements Forecasting (BURF) Program of the NAVSHIPS Long Range Workload Planning System (LRPS).

Abstract

The Berthing and Utilities Requirements Forecasting (BURF) Program is a management tool designed to determine the berthing requirements for the naval shipyards over a long-range period. The berthing utilities considered by the program are linear space (ft), electric current (ac at 450 volts), fresh and salt water (gpm), and steam power (lb/hr). Given the ships to be berthed in a shipyard for any one day, the system will assign selected ships to berths and forecast the resulting utilities requirements at that yard for that day. By choosing appropriate peak days over the long-range period, an overall forecast for a yard can be produced. (Author)
