A Methodology for Applying Bar Code Technology to Aircraft Maintenance Unit Support Sections.

Abstract

This study developed a methodology that decision makers can use as an aid to determine if bar code technology should be applied in Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU) Support Sections. The literature review revealed that the Logistics Applications of Automated Marking and Reading Symbols (LOGMARS) steering group recommended that bar code technology applications be aggressively pursued across the logistics spectrum due to the success of the LOGMARS test program. Since AMU support sections perform many functions similar to those that have already benefited form this technology as it applies to an AMU support sections. Worksheets were designed to help collect and analyze the necessary cost/benefit information so that decision makers will be able to properly assess the expected cost and benefits for a particular support section.
