GAO discussed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Advanced Automation System (AAS), focusing on the: (1) problems confronting AAS; (1) causes of AAS schedule delays and cost increases; and (3) changes affecting AAS. GAO noted that: (1) serious cost and schedule difficulties have affected AAS despite several FAA management initiatives; (2) an overly ambitious development plan, inadequate oversight of software development, and changing system requirements have led to AAS cost and schedule problems; (3) FAA has not provided adequate oversight of contractor performance during initial development of a key system component; (4) FAA has been indecisive in resolving some issues about AAS basic requirements; (5) although FAA and the contractor have made some progress in developing a system that meets FAA requirements, the system is still experiencing technical difficulties; (6) FAA will need an additional $100 million for a redesigned system component because of changing requirements; (7) FAA plans to procure about 170 automated systems, at a cost of $350 million, to support the terminal facilities that will not be consolidated under AAS; and (8) AAS will impose major demands on upcoming FAA budgets.

Excerpt from Review of Recent Developments in the Federal Aviation Administration's Advanced Automation System Program: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Aviation of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session; April 13, 1994 The Subcommittee will receive testimony on the continuing problems associated with the Federal Aviation Administration Advanced Automation System (aas) program. Hearings held in March 1993 reviewed problems in the program and what the faa and its contractor, ibm Federal Systems Corporation, were doing to rectify those problems. Much has transpired since those hearings, hardly any of which could be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two central ideas in the movement toward advanced automation systems are the office-of-the-future (or office automation system), and the factory of-the-future (or factory automation system). An office automation system is an integrated system with diversified office equipment, communication devices, intelligent terminals, intelligent copiers, etc., for providing information management and control in a dis tributed office environment. A factory automation system is also an inte grated system with programmable machine tools, robots, and other pro cess equipment such as new "peripherals," for providing manufacturing information management and control. Such advanced automation systems can be regarded as the response to the demand for greater variety, greater flexibility, customized designs, rapid response, and 'Just-in-time" delivery of office services or manufac tured goods. The economy of scope, which allows the production of a vari ety of similar products in random order, gradually replaces the economy of scale derived from overall volume of operations. In other words, we are gradually switching from the production of large volumes of standard products to systems for the production of a wide variety of similar products in small batches. This is the phenomenon of "demassification" of the marketplace, as described by Alvin Toffier in The Third Wave.
