Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS). Volume 3. Results, Conclusions,and Recommendations

摘要

Volume three of the IMIS Final Report documents the results and conclusions ofeach field test or demonstration conducted at Luke Air Force Base. Recommendations and lessons learned collected during the entire program (e.g., requirements analysis, system design, implementation, integration, test, installation, and demonstration) are provided. In the final phase of the project, an IMIS Demonstration System was developed and tested. In the field test, the performance of technicians on troubleshooting tasks when using the IMIS was compared with their performance on comparable tasks when using the paper technical orders. Test results indicated that technicians were able to perform the tasks significantly faster, used fewer parts, and made fewer serious errors when using the IMIS. In addition, the test indicated that, when using IMIS, non-specialist (crew chief) technicians could perform the tasks as effectively as the specialists.
