The Panel on Statistical Methods for Testing and Evaluating Defense Systems had a broad mandate-to examine the use of statistics in conjunction with defense testing. This involved examining methods for software testing, reliability test planning and estimation, validation of modeling and simulation, and use of modem techniques for experimental design. Given the breadth of these areas, including the great variety of applications and special issues that arise, making a contribution in each of these areas required that the Panel's work and recommendations be at a relatively general level. However, a variety of more specific research issues were either brought to the Panel's attention by members of the test and acquisition community, e.g., what was referred to as Dubin's challenge (addressed in the Panel's interim report), or were identified by members of the panel. In many of these cases the panel thought that a more in-depth analysis or a more detailed application of suggestions or recommendations made by the Panel would either be useful as input to its deliberations or could be used to help communicate more individual views of members of the Panel to the defense test community. This resulted in several research efforts. Given various criteria, especially immediate relevance to the test and acquisition community, the Panel has decided to make available three technical or background papers, each authored by a Panel member jointly with a colleague. These papers are individual contributions and are not a consensus product of the Panel; however, the Panel has drawn from these papers in preparation of its final report: Statistics, Testing, and Defense Acquisition. The Panel has found each of these papers to be extremely useful and they are strongly recommended to readers of the Panel's final report.

Models and simulations of all kinds are tools for dealing with reality. Humans have always used mental models to better understand the world around them: to make plans, to consider different possibilities, to share ideas with others, to test changes, and to determine whether or not the development of an idea is feasible. The book Modeling and Simulation uses exactly the same approach except that the traditional mental model is translated into a computer model, and the simulations of alternative outcomes under varying conditions are programmed on the computer. The advantage of this method is that the computer can track the multitude of implications and consequences in complex relationships much more quickly and reliably than the human mind. This unique interdisciplinary text not only provides a self contained and complete guide to the methods and mathematical background of modeling and simulation software (SIMPAS) and a collection of 50 systems models on an accompanying diskette. Students from fields as diverse as ecology and economics will find this clear interactive package an instructive and engaging guide.

Recent computer-based tools for project planning and management focus on user-friendliness and interconnectivity. However, these programs function on the Critical Path Method, or CPM, which was created in the 1950s. These programs, which involve simplistic models and methods, ignore the fact that the underlying computations on which they function h

Customers of a steel manufacturing company now order a large number of low volume orders instead of a small number of high volume orders as they would have done just a few decades ago. The change in customer expectations has complicated production planning and scheduling within a steel manufacturing company. The aim of this research is to improve production planning and scheduling capability in steelmaking using one of the popular simulation techniques, called discrete event simulation. In this research it is observed that there are three major areas that need attention to improve production planning and scheduling capability. First, selection of optimal schedules and plans based on throughput, production time, stock size, and other production processing criteria. Next, incorporating cost into the criteria to select the schedules and plans will make the planning more cost effective and realistic at the same time. In addition, with the increased use of discrete event simulation modelling, there is a need to improve the model development efficiency and make the process less reliant on practitioners' experience and capabilities, in order to improve the overall planning and scheduling capability. This thesis presents frameworks to address the three major areas for the capability improvement. This research adapts a systematic approach to validation. Theoretical, realisation, and empirical parts of the research were separately validated. Real life case studies were used for validation of each proposed framework. Discrete event simulation can improve the accuracy of production planning & scheduling and cost estimation for complex production systems. GA-based multi-objective optimisation can be successfully applied to optimisation of plans and schedules. Production planning and scheduling optimisation for some production areas provides a challenging problem to GAs. Cost estimation in the steel manufacturing company needs improvement because of the current lack of accurate costs of product families that affects quality of price management. The developed cost estimation technique is capable of providing more realistic cost for product families. The cost estimation technique would be useful for companies operating on volume-driven manufacturing processes rather than on unit-driven. Conceptual modelling needs to be improved in order to achievein model development efficiency and to make the process less reliant on practitioners' experience and capabilities. A formal information collection process can aid conceptual modelling of production systems by further development of DES models for cost estimation.

In the wake of the failure of the Joint Simulation System (JSIMS), the Department of Defense (DoD) sought improvements to its approach to buying simulations training through a process called the Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives (TC AoA). The DoD has decided to move forward with a prototype of one alternative developed as part of this process an innovative business model intended to align the financial incentives of industry participants with positive training and technology development outcomes. Known as Alternative #4 (referred to hereafter as Alt#4), the model proposes to turn what has traditionally been the acquisition of training simulators into a service acquisition (the acquisition of training) with a private sector tool vendor marketplace to support it. RAND was asked by the offices of the Under Secretaries of Defense (OUSD) for Personnel and Readiness (P & R) and Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT & L), and the Joint Staff Operational Plans and Joint Forces Development Directorate (J7), to produce an implementation and evaluation plan for a prototype of this alternative. This report responds to that request. It presents the Alt#4 business model, compares it with other approaches for buying simulations and simulation training, reviews economic theories relevant to the model, and provides a detailed implementation and evaluation plan for a prototype. This report should be of interest to those participating in, or charged with carrying out, the prototype of Alt#4. The analysis should also be interesting to those interested in innovative approaches to training acquisition. Moreover, the success or failure of the approach will be of general interest to the executive and legislative branches and to commercial companies as an evaluated approach to improved acquisition. No special technical expertise is required to understand the material.
