TWI PROFILE: MAJ JEFFERY RAMSEY, LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP

摘要

As an Army acquisition officer working in ground robotics, MAJ Jeffery Ramsey knew the importance of requirements, those many details that determine what a contractor must deliver. He just didn't fully understand the concept until he spent 10 months working at Lockheed Martin as a Training with Industry (TWI) officer. Ramsey, whose TWI assignment began in late July 2013 at Lockheed Martin's Training and Logistics Solutions line of business in Orlando, FL, saw how quickly requirements can change, and how significant the effects of a small change can be. It was the most momentous of many lessons he learned during his TWI assignment, which introduced him to areas of program management and contracting that otherwise he'd never have seen from an industry perspective, he said. At the same time, he had to navigate the many differences that separated him as an active-duty military officer from his industry co-workers.
