Expert System Initiative in Logistic Readiness (EXSYN)

Abstract

This initiative is to demonstrate the feasibility of using expert system technology to assist TRADOC combat developers with the assignment of equipment readiness codes. These codes identify the essentiality of individual equipments to the performance of the overall unit mission. The objective of the system is to facilitate the consistent application of policy and practice in the assignment of the codes and thereby contribute to the management of unit logistic readiness. The approach is to : (1) focus on the selected number of company-size types and codify the present assignment policies and practices into rule sets; (2) develop a prototype expert system based on the rule sets, using a commercially available expert system development tool; and (3) conduct a concept evaluation of the prototype system at a field location (TRADOC HQ).
