Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) program is a comprehensive management and technical effort that focuses on the continuous integration of the six MANPRINT domains (Human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, system safety, and health hazards) into the Materiel Acquisition and Development Process (MADP). In this report, the implementation of MANPRINT during the acquisition of the Airborne Target Handover System/ Avionics Integration (ATHS/AI) for the Apache (AH-64A) aircraft is described, and the contribution of MANPRINT concepts to the definition of the system's performance requirements is detailed. Researchers concluded that using MANPRINT concepts in the acquisition of the ATHS/AI for the AH-64A helped to define a system that should reduce crew task times, number of crew procedures, and maintenance complexity. As a historical overview of the procurement of the ATHS/ AI for the AH-64A, the report describes how MANPRINT issues influenced the initial Product Improvement Program (PIP) and the Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) and describes how MANPRINT concepts were conveyed in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The application of MANPRINT in the Source Selection Process (SSP) is described and the lessons learned from this experience are summarized. These lessons are strategies that are potentially useful to other MANPRINT practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration) program is a management and technical effort to integrate soldier performance and reliability issues into the materiel development and acquisition process. The program accomplishes this by continuously integrating information from the six soldier- related domains of MANPRINT--human factors engineering, system safety, health hazards, manpower, personnel and training. Contributions from engineering, logistics, MANPRINT and other disciplines are balanced in the best value goal of the procurement process. Accordingly, this document is offered as a supplement to other, more comprehensive guidance on source selection. The objective of this guide is to aid members of SSEBs in identifying and evaluating the MANPRINT content of proposals that are received from industry. Secondary objectives are to show how MANPRINT can be applied in the source selection process by assisting program managers and their staffs in developing the source selection plan (SSP) and in formulating the request for proposal (RFP) and other solicitation documents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERSPECTIVE This book is important to everyone concerned with the design and development of people-oriented systems. The Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) program is a major military system procurement initiative adopted by the Army to focus on the needs and capabilities of the soldier. This program is unique in that it integrates six areas of user concerns which include human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, health hazards, and system safety throughout the development cycle of Army materiel. Even though MAN PRINT was developed for Army systems, the philosophy and techniques used in this program extend well beyond military systems used by soldiers. It can be applied to all products and systems used by people such as automobiles, airplanes, boats, control rooms, automated manufacturing, telecommunications, computers, and medical equipment. Interestingly, the impetus for MAN PRINT came from the senior managers who buy these systems. During the early and mid-1980s, two Army generals, M. R. Thurman and R. M. Elton, who served successively as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, were instrumental in fostering MANPRINT development. By the end of the 1980s, this program was integrated throughout the standard procurement system of the Army. The formal statement of acquisition policy is contained in Army Regulation 602-2.

To make these limitations, and other information relevant to users have been collected in this catalogue.
Download or read book MANPRINT Analysis Methodology Victory Through Design written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MANPRINT refers to the comprehensive management and technical effort to assure total system effectiveness by constructive integration into material development and acquisition all relevant information concerning the MANPRINT domains of Manpower, Personnel, Training, Human Factors Engineering, System Safety, and Health Hazard Assessment. Although the MANPRINT process has attained many of its objectives in recent materiel procurements, there remains insufficient integration of MANPRINT factors into key materiel acquisition process (MAP) events, studies, and analyses including: (1) Operational Mode Summary/Mission Profile (OMS/MP); (2) Operational and Organizational Plan (O & O Plan); (3) Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM); (4) Cost and Operational Effectiveness Plan (COEA); (5) Required Operational Capability (ROC) ; (6) Request for Proposal (RFP); (7) Testing and Evaluation (T & E); and (8) Fielding. These materiel acquisition process events are critical to the determination of system performance and cost requirements and to ensuring that system performance and cost objectives are met throughout the materiel acquisition process. Therefore, it is essential that MANPRINT factors are fully integrated into these materiel acquisition process events.

Download or read book The 71F Advantage written by National Defense University Press and published by NDU Press. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes a foreword by Major General David A. Rubenstein. From the editor: "71F, or "71 Foxtrot," is the AOC (area of concentration) code assigned by the U.S. Army to the specialty of Research Psychology. Qualifying as an Army research psychologist requires, first of all, a Ph.D. from a research (not clinical) intensive graduate psychology program. Due to their advanced education, research psychologists receive a direct commission as Army officers in the Medical Service Corps at the rank of captain. In terms of numbers, the 71F AOC is a small one, with only 25 to 30 officers serving in any given year. However, the 71F impact is much bigger than this small cadre suggests. Army research psychologists apply their extensive training and expertise in the science of psychology and social behavior toward understanding, preserving, and enhancing the health, well being, morale, and performance of Soldiers and military families. As is clear throughout the pages of this book, they do this in many ways and in many areas, but always with a scientific approach. This is the 71F advantage: applying the science of psychology to understand the human dimension, and developing programs, policies, and products to benefit the person in military operations. This book grew out of the April 2008 biennial conference of U.S. Army Research Psychologists, held in Bethesda, Maryland. This meeting was to be my last as Consultant to the Surgeon General for Research Psychology, and I thought it would be a good idea to publish proceedings, which had not been done before. As Consultant, I'd often wished for such a document to help explain to people what it is that Army Research Psychologists "do for a living." In addition to our core group of 71Fs, at the Bethesda 2008 meeting we had several brand-new members, and a number of distinguished retirees, the "grey-beards" of the 71F clan. Together with longtime 71F colleagues Ross Pastel and Mark Vaitkus, I also saw an unusual opportunity to capture some of the history of the Army Research Psychology specialty while providing a representative sample of current 71F research and activities. It seemed to us especially important to do this at a time when the operational demands on the Army and the total force were reaching unprecedented levels, with no sign of easing, and with the Army in turn relying more heavily on research psychology to inform its programs for protecting the health, well being, and performance of Soldiers and their families."
