Popis: This report describes the final year of a three-year project to develop, implement, and evaluate an Army Maintenance Performance System (MPS). From specific maintenance-related performance measures provided by the MPS, managers and supervisors can assess maintenance effectiveness and relate it to repairmen skills and maintenance training needs. The MPS establishes training priorities, and specifies training resources and methods for overcoming specific deficiencies. The final year produced a streamlined and expanded MPS that could be handed over to and operated by Army personnel. The system encompassed 10 technical Military Occupational Specialties (MOS's) and the equipment of a mechanized infantry division. The system was proven during a 10-week implementation period at Fort Carson, Colorado. Also, a study of MPS potential in geographically dispersed operations, such as in USAREUR, concluded that the MPS would operate satisfactorily if data collection from outlying units were coordinated with maintenance control system procedures.
