The Management Information and Decision Support (MIDS) System at Lockheed-Georgia
Abstract
The Management Information and Decision Support System (MIDS) has been supporting senior executives at Lockheed-Georgia for the past eight years. MIDS combines off-the-shelf hardware with in-house developed software to provide a system with unique capabilities. MIDS’ benefits include better information, improved communications, an evolving understanding of information requirements, a test-bed for system evolution, and cost reductions. It is a success as measured by an assessment of benefits, frequency of use, and user satisfaction. Factors contributing to the success of MIDS include a committed senior executive sponsor, carefully defined systems requirements, carefully defined information requirements, a team approach to systems development, an evolutionary development approach, and careful computer hardware and software selection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
