Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Navy Exploratory Development Division is now successfully using a newly developed teleprocessing computer program to assist in managing its million dollar a day development program. The computerized Financial Data System (FDS), completed under Rear Admiral A. S. Goodfellow, Chief of Naval Development, is the first of its kind to be used at the headquarters office. The system provides for man‐machine dialog in simple, English language. It automatically divides the program's total funds, takes into account management's various constraints and weighting factors and delivers a balanced program neatly typed. As the available funds fluctuate, the various parts of the program are proportionally increased or decreased after first providing for various exceptions to this method. The computer assists in the quick reallocation of dollar resources, either preserving the technical mix of the program or intentionally effecting a change in technical emphasis by controlling the funding.
