R&M 2000 Workstation

Abstract

The R&M 2000 Workstation, a microcomputer-based modeling and analysis environment, has been developed to evaluate weapon systems with respect to the five reliability and maintainability (R&M) 2000 Goals. The workstation helps the logistician, engineer, or program manager identify relevant information and evaluate potential effects of alternative actions to support their particular logistics analysis. The workstation evaluates all issues against consistent assessment criteria wherein 'workfiles' can be manipulated to quantify supportability assessments and to perform logistics trade-offs. By maintaining a 'control' using consistent, established assessment criteria throughout the analysis process, an audit trail is formed whereby all supportability decisions may be traced back through the decision process.<>
