Acquisition Production Management Tasks: A Program Office/AFPRO Comparison of Relative Task Size and Priority

Abstract

DOD policy in the 1970's has reflected increasing concern with production management. Decisions to produce or to redirect production effort affect production efficiency and weapon system cost, schedule, and performance. The Air Force expects production management activities to be conducted under a close-working relationship between the program office and the system program. Program decisions are directly influenced by opinions from the production elements of these offices. The study was designed to compare opinions of program office and Air Force Plant Representative Office (AFPRO) production elements about the production tasks they perform. Responses were analyzed to determine which tasks consumed the most perceptions of task time and importance existing in the counterpart production elements.
