Summary The Navy contracts out ship maintenance availabilities to commercial shipyards in several regions around the country. When awarding maintenance contracts to commercial shipyards, the Navy wants to make sure that the shipyards have drydocks and workforce ready to complete the contracts on time. This project aims to leverage earlier work on drydock schedule optimization and workload optimization to develop an integrated decision-aid tool to optimally schedule ship maintenance availabilities. The decision-aid tool will be initially deployed as a web-based application before making transition to Ship Maintenance Data Improvement Initiative (SMDII).
