Three Computer Based Aids to Maintenance Scheduling.
Abstract
The complexity of the scheduling problem is examined including the large numbers of aircraft, the recurring changes of maintenance rules, and the conflict between a desired smooth flow of aircraft into maintenance and the desired flight procedures. Survey of typical schedulers reveals a need to allow a simple operation of a very complex system. Survey of available models reveals Decision Oriented Scheduling System (DOSS) as the most appropriate computer aid. Analysis of DOSS verifies its versatility but reveals the need to simplify it to the level of the average Air Force scheduler's expertise, to further adjust programming statements to a more natural English-like language and to allow for easier and faster programming adjustments due to unscheduled maintenance changes.
