This study examined certain reported maintenance factors to better
understand how they influence the accomplishment of shipboard maintenance
in cruisers and guided missile destroyers. The data was generated by the
Equipment Maintenance and Related Maintenance (EMRM) Project, Pacific,
and other reports normally submitted by the ships. Though part of the data
was broken down to work center level, this research did not go below the
ship level. This study showed 1) how the accomplishment of preventive maintenance varied as additional maintenance requirements were scheduled;
2) how the accomplishment of preventive versus corrective maintenance
changed as funds for repair parts were increased; and 3) how the ships'
employment schedules affected their accomplishment of shipboard maintenance
Additionally, an hypothesis test was used to show that there was a difference
in the maintenance activity of the EMRM test group ships compared to the
EMRM control group ships.
