Abstract
Aircraft maintenance control operates in a dynamic, high intensity environment. Maintenance work priorities are made several times daily under extremely demanding and time sensitive conditions. the person responsible for scheduling aircraft, usually the Maintenance Master Chief, draws upon years of experience when assigning priorities for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. An Expert System Advisor for Aircraft Maintenance Scheduling (ESAAMS) is being implemented at the Naval Postgraduate School. This thesis examines what should be included within an expert system test plan and proposes a prototype test plan for ESAAMS. Development of ESAAMS will provide valuable insight for incorporation of a leading edge technology into today's complex military. The potential improvement in operational readiness, consistent decision making, and ability to replicate an expert's decision making process for scheduling aircraft maintenance makes implementing ESAAMS a worthwhile venture.
