The Criteria for an Equipment Identification Coding System.

摘要

The purpose of this research was to develop criteria for a uniform Equipment Identification Coding System (EICS). The EICS would possess the following characteristics: (1) facilitate the coding of maintenance management information; (2) be compatible with the Chart of Accounts Structure prescribed by DOD Directive 7220.14 for the generation of maintenance costing information at all levels of maintenance; and (3) be compatible with uniform DOD Research and Development System Work Breakdown Structure process to facilitate the use of technical data including maintainability and reliability indices of hardware.
