User's Guide for Crew Chief: A Computer Graphics Simulation of An Aircraft Maintenance Technician. (Version 1 - CV4001)
Abstract
This User's Guide describes the procedures to operate the Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory and the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory's CREW CHIEF system of programs. The CREW CHIEF system of programs is interactive with the Computervision CADDS (Computer Aided Design System) software package, and therefore it is necessary that operators be qualified in the use of CADDS, as this document does not duplicate the CADDS operating instructions. The CREW CHIEF system of programs provides for designers a tool for early identification of design-related maintainability problems by analyzing the interaction of Air Force maintenance technicians' physical capabilities and the design elements related to specific maintenance tasks. Historically, many of such maintainability problems have been found when the system design prevents timely and cost-efficient corrective action. Such problems are often passed to the logisticians to corrective action. Such problems are often passed to the logisticians to correct, or to endure, after the system has been delivered. Since maintenance accounts for approximately 35 percent of the total cost of a system during its years of use, early identification and correction of design-induced maintenance problems can result in significant savings.
