Automated Master Planning Tools for Integrated Weapon System Management (IWSM)

摘要

This technology assessment consolidates Phase I (Concept Definition) results ofthe Integrated Weapon System Master Plan (IWSMP) Program for review in executive level form. It addresses the overall issue of integrated master planning and its role in the present environment of change within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the new Air Force Materiel Command's (AFMC's) former, separately managed acquisition and sustainment communities. The specific purpose of the project was to validate the need for an automated tool/system to facilitate integrated master planning for Air Force weapon system and other single manager programs under the product-oriented Integrated Weapon System Management (IWSM) philosophy, implemented when the AFMC was formed in July 1992. The effort consisted of extensive research, including survey work, into the impacts of IWSM and the DoD business process overhaul upon the planning process in order to accurately document program manager and customer requirements for improved planning and execution.
