Early MPT Estimation Methods: An Evaluation of the LHX Test-Bed Research Program. Volumes 1 and 2
Abstract
The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) has been a major sponsor of research efforts to develop MANPRINT methods. This report describes a program initiated in early 1985 that focused on the development and testing of analytic and predictive MANPRINT-manpower requirements methods. Since the program used LHX acquisition data in methodology development, a second goal was to apply prototype products in support of the LHX Program Manager efforts to analyze LHX manpower requirements. The total effort resulted in seven interrelated projects, including the development of three software tools--the Transition Training model, the Electronic Aids to Maintenance (EAM) model, and Manpower and Mission Capability (MANCAP) model. The Transition Training model is a scheduling tool that estimates the training resources required and average unit readiness downtime given a particular unit training schedule. The EAM is a spreadsheet-based Administrative and Logistics Delay Time model that incorporates potential BIT failures in the failure and repair sequence, allowing for the examination of the impact of EAM performance deficiencies on LHX aircraft availability. The MANCAP model is a computer-based model that estimates mission capability of a weapon system based upon weapon system characteristics, operating organization characteristics, and mission performance profiles. Keywords: LHX; Manpower requirements; MANPRINT; EAM; MANCAP; Transition training.
