Employing Expert System Technologies to Real Property Management Decision making

Abstract

The U.S. Army has an enormous real property inventory, valued (in 1988) at $175 billion. The management of Real Property Maintenance Activities (RPMA) in the Army is a challenging and complex task. This report describes a study that reviewed U.S. Army RPMA to identify specific management areas that could be improved by use of knowledge-based programming techniques. Two programs were selected to determine the feasibility of employing knowledge-based expert systems to assist in RPMA decision making. The first system, outlined the processes for prioritizing projects at the installation and Major Command levels. The second system models an expert system that would assist the Directorate of Engineering and Housing (DEH), Engineering Plans and Services (EP&S) division in scheduling design projects.
