A Computer Based Decision Support System for Tailoring Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR) Requirements

Abstract

This thesis involves the development of a personal computer program to help tailor Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR), MIL-STD-1388-2A, requirements for system/equipment acquisition efforts. It is referred to as the LSAR Decision Support System (DSS) Program. This program is intended to aid working level logisticians bridge the gap between tailoring MIL-STD-1388-1A tasks and completing the DD Form 1949-1, the end product of a LSAR tailoring effort. There are five main features in the program: 1) an overview of the DSS, 2) a synopsis of LSAR tailoring guidance, 3) the actual tailoring portion, 4) a program to review and update a user's previous effort, and 5) a program to produce output to either screen or printer. The programming language used is DBASE III PLUS; it is required to run the LSAR DSS Program. The program structure is designed to be similar to other dBASE III PLUS LSA programs which are currently in development and allows for easy update and/or expansion. Theses. (RRH)
