One, the simulations of maintenance logistics I worked on with RTR Technologies, while working on and with the Aircraft Maintenance Model, incorporated a number of concepts.  Many of these were defined in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.navair.navy.mil\/logistics\/4790\/\">NAMP<\/a> (Naval Aviation Maintenance Program).  Among the events considered, both implicitly and explicitly, are these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time between failure of parts<\/li>\n<li>Availability of personnel, tools, and facilities to perform maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Scheduled and Unscheduled Services<\/li>\n<li>Availability of parts in local supply<\/li>\n<li>Time of delivery for parts not in local supply<\/li>\n<li>Time to begin work on repair (after other items in queues are addressed and sufficient personnel are available.<\/li>\n<li>Chance that correct part is not delivered<\/li>\n<li>Time between failure of ad hoc repair not using correct parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a few additional factors in play as well, but I report these because they have become annoyingly germane in my life over the last couple of days.  Nothing evil, dangerous, or particularly expensive, just annoying.  Tomorrow I will execute a new set of dice rolls for a new iteration of the Monte Carlo simulation that is the automotive portion of my life, and we shall see what happens.  With luck I won&#8217;t have to mention any of this again.  If you need to know what this is about, check yesterday&#8217;s post&#8211;and then check a map.  Then consider the human costs of things we blithely attempt to simulate using computers.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime I reworked the way that my JavaScript code handles default parameters, so the animations work correctly on a wider variety of platforms, including my iPhone.  <\/p>\n<pre class=\"toolbar-overlay:false wrap:false height-set:true lang:default decode:true \">\r\n      \/\/function addTransformToList(sElement,tDuration,trans,mMethod = \"linear\",tAdjustment = \"\") {\r\n      function addTransformToList(sElement,tDuration,trans,mMethod,tAdjustment) {\r\n        if (mMethod === undefined) {\r\n          mMethod = \"linear\";\r\n        }\r\n        if (tAdjustment === undefined) {\r\n          tAdjustment = \"\";\r\n        }\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>I had experimented with statements that did the same thing in different ways, but the interpreters balked.  This method is both cleaner and doesn&#8217;t cause the interpreter to puke.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"330px\" height=\"480px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rpchurchill.com\/demo\/animation\/animation_demo_20160727.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Couple of things to report.
