An Expert System for Inventory Managers at Retail Stock Points.
Abstract
The responsiveness of the Navy supply system depends upon the effectiveness of its inventory managers. It is difficult to achieve and maintain the high skill levels required of inventory managers to perform their jobs. Improvement in the effectiveness and productivity of existing personnel is possible through the application of 'expert systems' technology. This thesis presents the design and development of expert system prototypes for two tasks performed by Navy stock point inventory managers: Delinquent Dues and Variables Ranking Lists processing. A review is provided of the acquired knowledge factors and the steps taken in the construction of the systems. The prototypes were evaluated by inventory managers and found to be extremely functional. The inventory managers were enthusiastic about the effectiveness and future use of these systems. (Author)
