Book excerpt: We have made some significant progress on the first prong. We have achieved great success in incentivizing the use of non-Government standards on our new contracts. As I said earlier, we have done this by requiring that waivers must first be obtained in cases where military or federal specifications or standards are deemed to be necessary. And even in cases where military or federal specifications or standards are approved, the solicitation will typically contain language encouraging offerors to propose alternatives. From an incentives standpoint, the "shoe is on the other foot" each time we write a new contract. In those cases when requirements are uniquely military and there is no comparable industry standard, the Department is using, wherever it is possible, performance-based specifications rather than "build to" specifications. Performance- based specifications focus on what performance is expected, and do not describe how to accomplish the task. When written properly, these documents promote competition and enhance quality, reliability, and supportability by providing our suppliers with the greatest possible latitude for innovation. We have adjusted the training curricula of the schools in the Defense Acquisition University consortium to make sure the new policies are understood by our acquisition workforce, and put into action. In addition, every military specification and standard in the DoD Index - over 30,000 documents - has been screened with a view towards cancellation, inactivation, or replacement with a performance specification, non- Government standard, or guidance handbook. To date, over 4,000 military specifications and standards have been canceled or inactivated. We are beginning to see the benefits of these MILSPEC reforms.

Download or read book MIL STD 1472G Department of Defense Design Criteria Standard Human Engineering 11 January 2012 written by United States Department of Defense and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Printed on high quality paper, and durably bound, this standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. This standard establishes general human engineering criteria for design and development of military systems, equipment, and facilities. Human engineering is one of seven domains of Human-systems integration (as defined in the DoD 5000 series) and is synonymous with Human factors engineering. The purpose of this standard is to present human engineering design criteria, principles, and practices to be applied in the design of systems, equipment, and facilities so as to: a. Achieve required performance by operator, control, and maintenance personnel. b. Achieve required manpower readiness for system performance. c. Achieve required reliability of personnel-equipment combinations. d. Foster design standardization within and among systems. This standard does not alter requirements for system development participation of human engineering specialists to interpret and implement these practices and to provide solutions to human engineering problems which arise and which are not specifically covered herein. Requirements herein are expressed in the International System of Units (SI). As a convenience, the metric units are accompanied by their approximate customary system equivalents (in parentheses). Angular measure is expressed in degrees unless it is necessary to specify fractions of a degree where milliradians are used. MIL-STD-1472 has not had a thorough technical review since the late 1980s. MIL-STD-1472D was promulgated in March 1989, and hence addressed the level of technology that existed through 1988 or possibly 1987. The “E” revision, promulgated in 1996, was mostly cosmetic; the text was changed to a non-proportional font in order to reduce white space. The “F” revision, promulgated in 1999, consisted mainly of moving the anthropometric data from MIL-STD-1472 to MIL-HDBK-759, but little else. As a result, requirements and design criteria contained in previous versions of MIL-STD-1472 may no longer be applicable to today's technology. The operational benefits of emerging technologies may be limited due to the out-of-date design criteria. Tomorrow's systems will depend on greater cognitive processing on the part of the human operator, maintainer, and support personnel. Portable or wearable computers are likely to be commonplace. New display concepts such as virtual reality, haptic (touch sensing), and three-dimensional are receiving a great deal of interest, as are voice, pointing, gesture, and eye-blink control systems. Technology, if misapplied, will impose human performance requirements that cannot be satisfied. Many technologies are evolving rapidly; the human is not. The benefits of new technologies may not be realized if one fails to consider human capabilities and limitations. The changes made in the “G” revision over the previous version are substantial. The organizational structure of the standard was revamped to group similar material in the same section of the document. Obsolete provisions (e.g., reference to dot-matrix printers) were deleted, out-of-date provisions were updated to reflect the latest research, and new provisions were added to address emerging technologies. See 6.4 for a summary of changes to the present “G” revision.
