Snap, A Contract Pricing Tool For The Micro-Computer, Kris Luella Hoffman
Snap, A Contract Pricing Tool For The Micro-Computer, Kris Luella Hoffman
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The amount of time required during the contracting process from the solicitation of bids through contract award can be significant. Two of the main problem areas are evaluating the contractor’s proposal and completing the negotiation process. The SNAP system was developed to simplify Negotiations with Automated Pricing using the microcomputer. SNAP can track three separate positions during negotiations and provide hour/dollar summaries for each of these positions by cost account, lot, department, and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Evaluation worksheets and department summaries can be produced to provide the evaluators with different perspectives of the same work effort. SNAP will also …
A Monte Carlo Approach To Ridge Discriminant Analysis, Lee Wooldridge
A Monte Carlo Approach To Ridge Discriminant Analysis, Lee Wooldridge
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A combined analytical and empirical method to define human performance measures is required for effective automated training. In theory, performance measures can be weighted and combined in a single first order equation upon which an automated training system can track a student's comparative skill level. A form of multivariate discriminant analysis was the statistical technique incorporated into the measurement selection and weighting scheme. (Vreuls and Wooldridge 1977). As with regression analysis, this discriminant technique was subject to debilitating problems such as overfit and undesirable inaccuracies in the coefficients. The author developed and implemented an adjustment to the discriminant function analogous …
Simulation Model To Evaluate Performance Of Operational Systems And Their Impact On Repair Shop Activity At A Navy Field Site, James T. Newell
Simulation Model To Evaluate Performance Of Operational Systems And Their Impact On Repair Shop Activity At A Navy Field Site, James T. Newell
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This paper presents the background and procedures leading to development of a simulation model to analyze the impact of certain decision variables on operational system performance and workloads as the repair facility of a typical Navy field site. The research examines the impact of maintenance support concepts, as implemented by changes in the decision variables, associated with the broader application of Automatic Test Equipment. The initial effort consisted of data collection and field site surveys which culminated in defining a work flow model illustrating typical repair facility operations. The work flow model is translated into a computer simulation model. The …
Software Quality Assurance, Edward C. Soistman
Software Quality Assurance, Edward C. Soistman
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The problems associated with software development and use are investigated from a management point of view. Having identified the critical aspects of effective software management, an approach is suggested for the creation and implementation of a software quality assurance program, Particular attention is focused on the concept of Life Cycle Procurement as currently utilized by the Department of Defense. The research was accomplished in two phases. The first consisted of an extensive literature search, seminar attendance and participation in several working groups assigned the responsibility for establishing software quality assurance guidelines. The second phase involved direct participation in the development …

Flood Control Modeling, Peter E. Delle Donne
Flood Control Modeling, Peter E. Delle Donne
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This is a research report that discusses some continuous and discrete modeling techniques. The report applies these techniques to the analysis of Canal 38 (Kissimmee River) part of Central and South Florida Flood Control District. The analysis is based on recorded data for defining the physical systems parameters. Established parameters are mathematically related to define a descriptive model for Canal 38. The modeling procedure of 'trial and error' is used to assemble the model with measures of merit, the integral square error, and root mean squared error. General simulation considerations are discussed for application of the mathematical model.
