Abstract	Abstract : This thesis assesses the capability of the Logistics Management Decision Support System (LMDSS) to meet the information needs of Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) logistics managers based on surveys of logistics managers and interviews with LMDSS program representatives. The LMDSS is being introduced as a tool to facilitate action by NAVAIR logistics managers to reduce the life cycle support costs of aviation systems while protecting readiness. We conclude the LMDSS does not meet the definition of a Decision Support System due to the lack of modeling capabilities. The LMDSS architecture and capabilities meet the information needs of surveyed logistics managers and support Affordable Readiness initiatives which are the means by which NAVAIR intends to reduce life cycle costs while sustaining aviation system readiness levels. Lack of modeling, graphics and sensitivity analysis capabilities limits identification, analysis and comparison of Affordable Readiness initiatives. We recommend modeling tools and graphics capabilities be incorporated as part of the LMDSS application. We further recommend that initiatives to improve data validity be expedited and that Maintenance Level 3 detail cost data be provided. Recommendations are made for further research.
