A Computer Program to Help Evaluate MCA (Military Construction, Army) Project Priorities

Abstract

A commercial software program (Lightyear) was customized to help U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) planners prioritize Military Construction, Army (MCA) projects. This program is intended for users with little or no previous computer experience. After listing all the facilities and structures (alternatives) being prioritized, the user assigns to each project numerical ratings for the factors and criteria being considered (examples are given in this manual). The program then adds the ratings and shows on bar graphs how the alternatives compare with each other. Instructions for installing and using the applied program are included. Keywords: Decision malung, Menu, Maintenance management, Fund allocations.
