Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS) Diagnostic Module Redesign

Abstract

This technical report describes Research and Development efforts to redesign and enhance the Integrated Maintenance Information System Diagnostic Module (MIS-DM). The diagnostic module, redesigned in Smalltalk/V and utilizing information from the Content Data Model (CDM), provides technical support to the maintenance technician by furnishing a wide range of capabilities to assist in the selection of an efficient sequence of maintenance tasks. Object-Oriented (OO) rapid prototyping techniques were used to create a diagnostic module compatible with hierarchical data base concepts employed by the CDM. The enhanced IMIS diagnostic module now provides three modes of assessment (functional, physical, and degraded) whereas the previous version provided only the functional mode. Other IMIS diagnostic module enhancements further expanded diagnostic capabilities with the implementation of algorithms to provide an access group option, 'But Not' data entry, presentation of test results, and a revised critically function.
