Lessons Learned in USAF Weapon System Acquisition Management: A Case Study Approach
Abstract
This thesis presents 15 case studies that describe a number of the management problems that typically occur throughout weapon system acquisitions. Specifically, seven aspects of weapon system acquisition are addressed by the cases: procurement planning and selecting acquisition strategy, SPO personnel, managing program changes, support planning, managing total system integration, managing production an eliminating contract/hardware deficiencies, and transferring system responsibility. The cases are designed for classroom support use and contain introductory theoretical material, classroom procedure suggestions, and actual case, and instructor guidance.
