The Role of the PEM in Development and Acquisition Management.
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to provide the PEM, and counterpart staff members, with a summary of critical management information. The study provides an effective means of understanding the critical development and acquisition elements of: the PEM mission and responsibility; the Five Year Defense Program (FYDP); the Planning Programming and Budgeting System (PPBS); the Congressional Process and Staff; and the Air Force Requirements Process. Also described are the key personal interface relationships which must be established with the functional organizations described above, and the key financial reprogramming aspects of the development and acquisition process. The study was accomplished using previous personal experience, latest written documents, and interviews with members of the Congressional Staff, OSD and Headquarters USAF. The study is intended to suplement the education and training of the PEM, and other key members of the development and acquisition team. New arrivals often have limited experience and background in the areas covered in the report. The report contents are intended to provide a method for getting up to speed as quickly as possible, and thereby minimizing adverse impact on program elements and projects which could result from lack of experience.
