Parametric Simulation of the Direct Support Maintenance System in the Brigade Area

摘要

This thesis presents a computer simulation model of the direct support maintenance system in the brigade area. Current and future maintenance doctrine is addressed as background, and is used as a basis for the model. Submodels to generate maintenance workload, perform the maintenance functions, and evaluate attrition of the maintenance units are discussed in detail. A program listing is provided and complete documentation is given. Data generated by the model is used as an example of a potential application. (Author)
