Download or read book Portfolio Analysis and Management for Naval Research and Development written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has the responsibility for defining and sponsoring research and development (R & D) necessary to support both the current and future requirements of the Navy and Marine Corps. To accomplish this mission ONR must fund a broad spectrum of research, ranging from basic research needed to open up new options for the long-term, to very near-term advanced technology development to support the current fleet. Moreover, ONR must make its R & D funding decisions in the presence of uncertainty: uncertainty in required capabilities, uncertainty in performance requirements, and uncertainty in the feasibility of a technology or R & D approach. This report describes the adaptation of an R & D portfolio management decision framework recently developed by RAND (Silberglitt and Sherry; 2002), PortMan, to support ONR's R & D decision-making, and the demonstration of its use via a case study evaluation of 20 sample ONR applied research projects.

Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper considers the Department of the Navy Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) program holistically. The underlying premise, that will be expanded on here, is that the Department is not doing a good enough job of strategically managing its RDT&E portfolio and that, at least partly as a result, the Department is spending too much and taking too long in getting new technology-driven capabilities into the hands of our warfighters. The goal of this paper is to identify a workable RDT&E process that better enables the Department of the Navy to identify, develop, and maintain the capabilities of our warfighters as notably the most advanced in the world"--Publisher's web site.

Download or read book Identification of Promising Naval Aviation Science and Technology Opportunities written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-04-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is developing the means to transform the nation's armed forces to meet future military challenges. For the Navy and Marine Corps, this vision is encompassed in Naval Power 21. Many new war-fighting concepts will be needed to implement this vision, and the ONR has requested the NRC to identify new science and technology opportunities for new naval aviation capabilities to support those concepts. This report presents an assessment of what they imply for naval aviation, an analysis of some capabilities that, if developed, would make a significant contribution to realizing those concepts, and an identification of key technologies in which ONR could invest to achieve those capabilities. In particular, the report focuses on seven key capabilities: multispectral defense, unmanned air operations, hypersonic weapons delivery, fast-kill weapons, heavy-lift air transport, intelligent combat information management, and omniscient intelligence.

Download or read book Handbook of Engineering Management written by Lucy Lunevich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Engineering Management discipline remains complex and multidisciplinary, and has progressed and broadened in scope significantly over the last 10–20 years. Previously, the discipline has been fragmented and not aligned with the purposes of economic development, mega-project delivery, and technological progress. Digital engineering has revolutionized the field of engineering by introducing digital tools and technologies to the design, creation, operation, and maintenance of physical systems, products, and services. It has enabled more efficient, effective, and sustainable solutions, and has the potential to drive significant innovation and improve the way we design, build, and operate physical systems. This handbook addresses new content of complexity by offering new engineering concepts such as simple, complicated, and complex, which have never been included in this discipline before and will generate interest from higher education, financial institutions, and technology companies. Handbook of Engineering Management: The Digital Economy focuses on multidisciplinary integration and complex evolving systems. It discusses the incorporation of a system of systems along with engineering economic strategies for sustainable economic growth. This handbook highlights functional leadership as the main part of an engineering manager’s competency and discusses how to form alliances strategically. In addition, it presents a comprehensive guide for the implementation of an environmental management system and shows how environmental and social impacts can be assessed in an organization applying digital tools. This handbook also brings together the three important areas of Engineering Management: Knowledge Management, the Digital Economy, and Digital Manufacturing. In addition, this handbook provides a comprehensive guide to implementing an environmental management system and shows how environmental and social impacts in an organization can be assessed using digital tools. Based on the authors’ practical experience, it describes various management approaches and explains how such a system can be used to prioritize actions and resources, increase efficiency, minimize costs, and lead to better, more informed decision making. It is essential to follow a systematic approach and to ask the right questions, whether the system is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of both. This handbook is laid out in a series of simple steps and dispels the jargon and myths surrounding this important management tool. This handbook is an ideal read for engineering managers, project managers, industrial and systems engineers, supply chain engineers, professionals who want to advance their knowledge, and graduate students.
Download or read book Priority Setting and Strategic Sourcing in the Naval Research Development and Technology Infrastructure written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many responsible elements of the Department of Defense (DoD), Congress, and the defense industry have expressed concern that the DoD, in downsizing and restructuring in recent years, is not cutting back on infrastructure, or non- combat elements, to a degree that is appropriate for the extent it is drawing down the combat force structure. Separately, proponents of the acquisition reform that is now under way question the need for DoD's maintaining as much infrastructure in-house as it has. Infrastructural elements are thus expected to get a more critical look in further rounds of budget-cutting. The Department of the Navy (DON) is undertaking such a critical examination-both to make appropriate preparations for the 1995 round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and to meet its need to make the best use of its resources for the longer term. In its examination, DON has divided its infrastructure into two parts. One part comprises research, development, and technology (RD & T); the other part comprises engineering, production, and support (EP & S). The purpose of this study is to offer analysis that will aid DON in its review of its RD & T infrastructure. More specifically, we present a framework for setting priorities for funding different lines of RD & T, and we offer our best application of that framework (Part I), we discuss ways in which the Navy might increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its RD & T investments-mostly through flexible insourcing and outsourcing strategies, which are sometimes collectively referred to as "smart buying" or "strategic sourcing." We use the term "strategic sourcing" (Part II).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general area of research is Maritime Domain Awareness, where we will be looking at the ship tracking process in prevention and interdiction functions. The objective of this research is to demonstrate that the Knowledge Value Added (KVA) and Real Options (RO) methodologies can be used to assess the current performance of core Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) processes. This type of approach will help with identification and valuation of future options for an MDA process. The results of this research will assist MDA managers, and operational leaders, in making portfolio management decisions for allocating resources to create the correct support tools for MDA processes and support systems. The research will provide a proof of concept test of a set of decision support tools to support managers in the MDA ship tracking process. We also explored a new methodology for determining value added of management.
