DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SYSTEMS EFFECTIVENESS
Abstract
The achievement of optimum Systems Effectiveness in the operational environment is dependent on the proper consideration and implementation of a number of events, starting from the very conception of the system and then proceeding through the acceptance of the system in the field. A need existed for the development of an organized approach which could be used as the basis for ensuring that these events are adequately considered and performed on a timely basis. The study described herein was undertaken for the purpose of identifying those events which influence Systems Effectiveness and the determination of the relationships of these events. This information was organized in a manner which provides cognizant personnel with the criteria necessary for achieving optimum Systems Effectiveness. Major emphasis was placed on criteria relating to the design of systems since this is the area in which the majority of events influencing Systems Effectiveness must be implemented. However, events associated with system development, production and acceptance were also considered since they have a direct impact on operational effectiveness. An integral part of this report is the Requirements for a Systems Effectiveness Program. These requirements, based on the entire Systems Effectiveness study, provide uniform criteria for the development of Systems Effectiveness Programs and provide a model for the preparation of Systems Effectiveness Program Plans.
