Publisher's Synopsis
This work applies the theory and practice of project management to today's restructured, quality-oriented DoD systems acquisition environment. It provides a useful "how-to" perspective for mid- and upper-level project and systems managers in the DoD, as well as defence contractors in the private sectors.;Topics covered include integrated product development, simultaneous engineering, cooperative R & D manufacturing technology, integrated weapon system management, and international strategic alliances. The information reflects such major defense changes as the DoD 5000 series directive and FAR revisions.;Offering the practical viewpoint of authors highly experienced in the military and defence industries, this is a detailed reference on all aspects of military project planning, management and control problems, and decision making.
