Problem:
The Aviation/Ship Integration department has identified a need to improve the tools to model, simulate and assess the interrelationship between aviation maintenance, ship general arrangements and manpower. The simulation team (AIR 3.3.2) will be working to build a model or a series of integrated models to quantify and enable evaluation with respect to the metrics in concert with the MOE’s/MOP’s maintenance process, and their relationship with the physical configuration of both O-level and I–level shipboard aviation maintenance facility spaces and operations. The main goal of this team is to improve the next generation of aircraft carriers beginning with CVN 21. On the CVN 21 aircraft carrier NAVAIR would like to decrease manpower, but increase sortie rates. In order to do this a lot of planning and analysis is needed to determine how changing the general arrangement and changing processes will effect manpower and sortie generation.
Solution:
Through the process improvement effort, Infotek has been asked to fulfill the following requirements for the project:
- Develop an AutoCAD interpreter that will analyze drawings of the CVN-21 series of carriers in order for the General Arrangement personnel to make decisions about logistics, supply and maintenance.
- Develop an analysis tool that will take in historical work unit code data and AutoCAD drawings to compare process improvements and general arrangement changes in the CVN 21.
