Ship-Initiated Microcomputer Applications: Lessons Learned.

Abstract

To determine the effect of ship-initiated microcomputer applications upon general shipboard administration, a microcomputer with a data management system (DMS) and word processing system (WPS) capability was placed in two Navy combatant ships. Over 80 DS and 200 WPS applications were developed and used by the ships. These applications were observed to facilitate control of shipboard administration and to reduce paperwork. Areas discussed include application design and development, system reliability and maintainability, system operations and utility, system personnel and logistic support, system benefits, and system costs. Lessons learned are listed. (Author)
