Afloat Information and Material Movement Study (AIMMS). Phase I. Descriptions of Required Supply Support Processes.

摘要

The purpose of AIMMS is to determine the relative locations, equipment and manning requirements for new construction aircraft carrier activities in order to maximize their supply support effectiveness while operating at sea. The ultimate objective is to develop a method that can be used as a tool for determining the requirements information. The AIMMS is being performed in four phases. This Phase 1 report describes the supply support and related maintenance processes performed by the activities of the current aircraft carrier departments. It identifies the two types of supply support organizational structures, split and integrated, currently being used by aircraft carriers. A standard format for each activity includes: a header (specifying activity identification number, name and type of assigned personnel), a performance abstract (description), inputs and outputs. A list was developed that represents the required supply support processes. In addition, those factors that describe the nature of the information or material being processed was tabulated. Finally, an analysis and correlation of the process list and the tabulated selectivity factors resulted in synthesized patterns of performance. This report has been reviewed and validated by Fleet activities and personnel (including the USS NIMITZ, CVN-68 and the USS AMERICA CV-66). (Author)
