Supply Training Management Information Systems

Abstract

Supply squadron training monitors have to monitor, maintain, and schedule large numbers of base and squadron personnel for many different training requirements. Included in these training requirements are customer block training, ancillary training, on-the-job training, mobility training, and various other unit-level miscellaneous training areas. The old method of managing these requirements via cards and manually generated rosters has become obsolete. One purpose of this thesis was to search for a training management information system that would alleviate the time-consuming tasks associated with training management. A second objective was, if no satisfactory system could be found, to design a system to meet the needs of the supply training monitors. Extensive interviews were performed with supply training monitors and MAJCOM training managers in search of a system already in existence and gathering information for the possible development of such a system. Since no satisfactory system could be found, a supply training management system was designed and programmed in dBase III Plus. The resulting system was successfully evaluated and should provide the supply community with a usable training management tool. Keywords: Database management, Theses.
