The Automation of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Maintenance Management Information in the 1990s
Abstract
The application of advanced information management technologies to the development of automated management information systems has had a profound effect on how organizations are led and managed. The Air Force has profited from the use of these systems to improve organizational efficiency, performance, and warfighting readiness. In the early 1980's, the Expanded Missile Data Analysis System (EMDAS) was deployed to provide the first automated management information system designed exclusively for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) maintenance organizations. Although this system is now fully deployed and operational, the combination of program shortfalls, current concerns, new requirements, and potential for change in future program management responsibility supports the need to upgrade or replace this system in the early 1990's. The new system should be developed to meet user requirements using the latest information management technology available. It should be managed by the Headquarters Strategic Air Command Directorate of Missile Maintenance and deployed by the end of 1992. Keywords: Maintenance management.
