costestimationpr00lars.pdf (4.323Mb)Abstract
Equipment readiness is an essential component in maintaining the
Marine Corps as this country's "Force in Readiness". In today's environment
of austere funding, improved productivity and reliable budgeting
processes are critical elements within the Depot Maintenance Activities.
The optimal utilization of available resources is paramount to the enhancement
of Fleet Marine Forces equipment readiness. This thesis uses
the quantitative techniques of multiple linear regression, survey analysis
and linear programming in an effort to model an automated management
system for the maximum allocation of resources at the two existing
Marine Corps depots.
