TL;DR: The ADAM system incorporates expert system diagnostic techniques, which interface with the aircraft's Built In Test (BIT) data, to generate subsets of optimized maintenance task information for fault isolation and repair processes.
Abstract: : The Aviation Diagnostics and Maintenance (ADAM) System is an initiative to acquire, store, distribute, and use technical maintenance information for aircraft in a digitized, integrated, and task-oriented format. The initiative is consistent with DoD Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (CALS) direction and provides tools for Statistical Process Control (SPC) under Total Quality Management (TQM) concepts. While oriented toward new technology aircraft, segments of the concept have applicability to the existing Naval Aviation inventory. ADAM consists of a maintenance system equipped with state of the art hardware/software through which complete, current and consistent data will be made automatically available in electronic format to all maintenance technicians and production managers, thereby improving maintenance performance and unit readiness with reduced Life Cycle Costs (LCC). The ADAM system incorporates expert system diagnostic techniques, which interface with the aircraft's Built In Test (BIT) data, to generate subsets of optimized maintenance task information for fault isolation and repair processes. This maintenance task information will be available to the technician on both workcenter display devices and on portable display devices which can be used at the work site.

TL;DR: The Logistics Concept of Operations (LOGCONOPS) as mentioned in this paper has been used to link operations and logistics support by management and command during World War II, and the Air Force has recognized this need, and that the uncertainty of wartime operations generates unpredictable support demands.
Abstract: : During recent years, through its Logistics Concept of Operations (LOGCONOPS), the Air Force has recognized this need, and that the uncertainty of wartime operations generates unpredictable support demands. This condition calls for linking operations and logistics support by management and command. This Note distills from a survey of World War II literature two kinds of information that makes a compelling case for LOGCONOPS and provides insight on how to implement it. The first describes the linkage between operations and logistics that tacticians and logisticians faced and how it was permeated by uncertainty. The second describes how management initiatives met the resulting problems. Three World War II uses of American and British airpower are recounted: the tactical air support in the European ground war; the tactical air support in the Pacific amphibious war; and the strategic air offensives against Germany and Japan. Aspects of enemy strategy and air force behavior that motivated friendly initiatives are also described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have presented the conceptual design of the pilot model of CIM for shipbuilding and has been prototyping it, which has the function of designing and production management, and the latter is realized by the following systems process planning, scheduling and production control.
Abstract: The Ship and Ocean Foundation has been conducting the feasibility study on CIM for shipbuilding and establishing a conceptual framework for the CIM for shipbuilding. Now the committee has finihshed the conceptual design of the pilot model of CIM for shipbuilding and has been prototyping it.The pilot model has the function of designing and production management, and the latter is realized by the following systems process planning, scheduling, and production control.The function of the production control system is to dispatch operations to workers and facilities for daily schedules, to monitor the status of operations in progress, and to troubleshoot in case of any troubles.In this paper dispatching and troubleshooting of the production control system and how the system should co-operate with the scheduling system are mainly discussed, and the concept of operation lot and production resources, which is found necessary on process of constructing the information model, and the method of dispatching which meets the functional requirement of the production control are proposed.
