Abstract
This thesis describes the analysis of a Sense and Respond Logistics program as applied to the United States Marine Corps' Light Armored Vehicle. This program was initialized in 2003 by the Program Manger, Light Armored Vehicle in an effort to provide both users and commanders with real-time logistics information. This real-time information is collected from the Light Armored Vehicle via sensors that are placed in critical areas. The analysis carried out for this thesis centers upon the data collected from the aforementioned sensors during Phase II and Phase III of the overall program. The sensor data is compared to normal operating parameters for the respective component. The data collected in Phase II is also compared with Phase III. Most of the data from both phases falls within normal limits, 77% and 63% respectively. However, there is evidence to suggest a statistical difference between Phase II and Phase III. Due to the lack of baseline data, it is impossible to determine which phase is more accurate. Only nonparametric methods are used in this analysis.
