  • Abstract
    This paper describes the contribution which reliability has made to the Minuteman logistic planning operation. The Minuteman maintenance philosophy, the techniques used for predicting the operational failure rates, and the factors considered in the generation of operational support planning are presented. A history of the accuracy and effectiveness of the reliability predictions is charted, and two significant refinements which lead to greater precision in logistic planning are described.
