Manpower Impacts of Job Aiding Technology

Abstract

A series of simulations using the Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) identified manpower benefits that could be attributed to the Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS). These simulations measured manpower levels under different assumptions about equipment reliability, sortie rate, and maintenance troubleshooting times. Sixteen LCOM studies were performed. Manpower was found to be sensitive to variation in each factor. The LCOM data showed that if the maintenance job aiding benefits of IMIS led to significant reduction in task performance time, then the potential saving in manpower and cost would be substantial.
