SRA (Short Range Aids to Navigation) Resource Management: Measures of Effectiveness.
Abstract
This document describes the first phase of a five-year study designed to develop a decision model (or set of models) capable of supporting the resource management activities of the Coast Guard's Short Range Aids to Navigation Program. The first phase, which included visits to virtually all Coast Guard District Offices and meetings with pilots associations and selected user groups, resulted in the development of standardized, realistic measures by which the predicted outcome of proposed management decisions can be expresses. The spectrum of decisions addressed includes the full range of program activities relating to short range aids tenance policy, staffing and training of personnel, as well as decisions tob invest in R&D and technological innovation. Measures of effectiveness developed under the first task deal primarily with safety (avoidance of accidents) and timeliness (avoidance of delays). A framework is established for expressing the components of these dimensions in a highly disagregated fashion suitable to the context at hand. Other measures of effectiveness dealing with less tangible issues are also defined.
