Expert System Application for SERMIS (Support Equipment Resources Management Information System).

ADA201917

Publication Date	1988
Personal Author	Rippinger, D. J.
Page Count	99
Abstract	The Support Equipment Resources Management Information System (SERMIS) is an extensive program that controls the Navy's aviation support equipment assets. Deficient support equipment allowances for maintenance activities are being generated under this system due to the retirement of a cadre of experts who have acquired years of direct experience with these activities. These direct experiences contribute to mastering the types of knowledge SERMIS requires as input data to this allowance process. Interviews were conducted with an acknowledged expert to identify the types of information that comprised this prerequisite body of knowledge. A prototype expert system application was then constructed using a commercial development tool. A prototype demonstrated the feasibility of capturing this knowledge and using it as a front-end application to gain a more effective and efficient use of SERMIS.
