ADAM’s capabilities can be effectively exploited to:

• Evaluate impact of apparatus deployment changes on response performance
• Quickly evaluate impact of budget cuts
• Obtain plots of first due areas by unit capabilities
  
• Analyze impact of station relocation
• Compare the performances of alternate station locations
• Project line up's by zone for different call types

• Compare ADAM provides two different scores, Incident and Coverage scores. Incident score gives the percentage of calls that can be reached within the specified time target. The performance for the areas with high call volume is given more weight than the areas with lower call volume. Coverage score gives the percentage of area that can be reached within the specified time target. The performance for all areas within the service area is equally weighted Coverage Performance vs Incident Performance

• Demonstrate impact on service/performance due to
• Annexations;
• Station location/relocation or closures;
• Apparatus relocation;
• Other field deployment changes--response plans etc;
• Assess response performance between career and volunteer units/stations
• Analyze service duplication and weaknesses between consolidated departments
• Analyze strengths and weakness of established staffing standards
