Lillian Coogan, CPL

Lillian Coogan is Director of Data Automation for Acquisition Logistics Engineering. She is responsible for developing effective methods of applying computer science to the full range of logistics analysis problems. Her background in commercial and military data systems enables her to match the logistics analysis problem to the appropriate hardware and software approach over the full range of data automation options. She has successfully modeled the logistics support analysis process for use in Concept Exploration and has developed a data base approach to integrated support planning.

Qualifications

Mrs. Coogan has 30 years experience in defining, programming, using, and modifying all size programs on mainframes, minicomputers, microcomputers and PCs. She has effectively used her computer science knowledge to develop data base concepts, and automated LSA tools as she performed LSA tasks on a wide variety of programs during her career.

As Director of Data Automation, Acquisition Logistics Engineering, Mrs. Coogan developed practical methods of using computers in logistics analysis for modern weapon systems, mechanized the Military Standard 1388-1A LSA tasks using off the shelf software for use on several weapon systems, and prepared a generic Front End Analysis model for use in conducting preliminary logistics analysis. Mrs. Coogan developed tailored models for use in Army Air Defense, Strategic Defense Initiative, Integrated Electronic Warfare and commercial aircraft systems, prepared production control networks for complex modification programs, and developed a data base concept for the Air Force's Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS). Mrs. Coogan assisted in preparation and presentation of LSA in Concept Exploration and Front End Analysis workshops, prepared ILS and LSA for proposals, and has accomplished LSA/LSAR for contractors on several programs. Mrs. Coogan has led or supported Life Cycle Cost, Operational Availability, Supply Support, and Provisioning efforts for several Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard programs.

As Program Analyst at Chemical Abstracts Service, Mrs. Coogan developed and managed a program plan for installation and use of a data dictionary for one of the largest data bases in the world. She developed and implemented a program to upgrade the 500,000 member dictionary for this data base without disrupting the 24 hour-a-day on-line service. Mrs. Coogan defined the criteria for the data dictionary which in turn provided standardized program criteria for over 15,000 programs that must operate interactively. She designed a data dictionary for the U.S. Patent Office that helped win a major competition to mechanize the US Patent process.

As Computer Specialist at Aero Propulsion Laboratory, Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, Mrs. Coogan assisted in development of an integrated control system for the Compressor Research Facility. This system's -function was the capture and reduction of jet engine compressor data for engines under test. Specific responsibility included developing, coding and debugging programs designed to translate data taken by MOD COMP computers to a form usable on an IBM 370, and development of programs to reduce those raw data to intelligible scientific results on the IBM 370.
