Abstract: Several of the important problem areas encountered in designing a management information system for operations and maintenance control of a major weapon system are discussed herein. Three types of design approaches are considered: (1) method and equipment improvement, (2) data augmentation, and (3) decision orientation. The latter approach is illustrated by a weapon system example. Design objectives which are useful in establishing detailed design criteria are discussed. The concepts of this paper are relevant to many non-military systems. "Management Technology", ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.
