R and M (Reliability and Maintainability) 2000 Management: A Tactical Air Command Perspective
Abstract
To determine the level of institutionalization, questions were developed to measure the degree of program implementation, the managers level of R & M management tools. Detailed analyses of the survey responses suggested that the implementation of the program was relatively low. The level of R & M education and training in TAC was also deemed as low. In evaluating the management tools, the survey showed opposing results indicating high use. However, the managers were not commonly aware that the management tools they used were actually the R & M 2000 tools. Statistical tests revealed that the survey response distributions could not be considered different, allowing conclusions to apply across the spectrum of the maintenance manager population. Contrary to expectations, this thesis concluded that the R & N 2000 program did not appear to be fully institutionalization the Tactical Air Command. However, the institutionalization does appear to be beginning at the core process level. Any penetration of the R & M 2000 program to the paradigmatic level may take several more years. Theses.
