Book excerpt: Planning Research Corporation has been working with the U.S. Navy for the past 2 years in providing a unique production management system for Navy Intermediate Maintenance Activities (IMAs). This system, successfully adapted from commercially proved techniques and underpinned by engineered labor performance standards, is in use at the Shore Intermediate Maintenance Activities (SIMA) Norfolk, Virginia and Mayport, Florida. Additionally, implementation of the system is underway on an incremental basis at SIMA, San Diego, California. The engineered labor performance standards, developed as Engineered Time Values (E.T.V.), provide a means to accurately plan, schedule and progress work, to exercise production control on a real-time basis and to analyze factors affecting productivity in order to effect remedial action. A key feature of the Engineered Time Values (ETV) System is the Productivity Management Information Component (PMIC) which supports these functions through the use of interactive computer equipment. 197 In the planning function, ETV information resident in the PMIC is accessed by the assigned planner using a visual display terminal. The planner selects.
