Alleviating Fleet Maintenance Problems through Maintenance Training and Aiding Research.

Abstract

This study reviews the factors influencing maintenance problems in the Fleet; assesses their relative impacts, using several combat systems as case examples; and identifies inadequate maintenance skills as one of the top two contributing factors, equipment design being the other one. Based on future technology and manpower trends, it concludes that the gap between maintenance skill requirements and those available in the Fleet will widen further, unless drastic action is taken to improve technical training and maintenance job aids, The report presents an outline of the steps the Navy must take to improve maintenance training and aiding technology. Keywords include: Integrated logistic support, Maintenance training equipment, Testability, Testing technology, Manpower, Personnel.
