Demonstration Model System. Volume III. NEDCOM User's Guide,

The Naval Electronics Design Cost Model NEDCOM is implemented on the APPLE II Computer System. NEDOCM configures a system out of individual Lowest Removable Assemblies LRAs. The program is capable of handing a system consisting of up to 100 distinct LRA types, each of which is characterized by 7 input variables. In addition, NEDCOM requires as input 61 system-level variables which describe the system operating environment, system manpower and training requirements, system design, and the Naval support environment. The user is given a choice of six different run type options. He can enter new system and LRA data, append a new LRA configuration to an existing system description, alter data previously entered and stored on disk, add additonal LRA types to an existing LRA configuration, perform sensitivity analysis on system variables, and finally, run a previously stored system configuration without making any changes. The first two options create new information files which are stored on disk for future use. The third andfourth options are used to alter the information stored on these files. The final two options execute system runs without any changes in stored data.
