摘要

The purpose of this investigation was to compare Functionally Oriented Maintenance Manuals (FOMM) and conventional manuals for their usability and cost effectiveness. Tests for student comprehension were conducted to determine how well FOMM and conventional manuals can be used for resident training. Tests were also conducted to compare the clarity of FOMM and conventional diagrams. The study includes a discussion of the development of FOMM and a summary of previous studies. The report recommends procurement of FOMM for new electronic equipments, and for old equipment with a history of poor maintainability.
