Analysis and Modeling of the Facility Acquisition Process as it Relates to the Development and Deployment of New Weapon Systems.

摘要

The purpose of this thesis was to identify potential modifications in the facilities acquisition process to better integrate it into a weapons system acquisition. In order ot accomplish this objective, a computer model was developed to simulate the integrated systems and facilities acquisition process and to determine what changes would most favorably impact facility acquisition schedules. Development and analysis of the model concluded that conflicts in timing came from four sources: 1) development of the list of facilities required to suport system bed down; 2) development of the basing and deployment concepts; 3) system and equipment changes during the facility acquisition and; 4) the data and definition of Initial Operational Capability (IOC).
