Decision Analysis for the Program Manager.

Abstract

Decision analysis techniques applicable to program management are examined and related to some of the critical decisions a Program Manager must make during the acquisition life cycle of major weapons systems. It is shown in detail how these techniques can be applied throughout the development cycle to assist the Program Manager in developing a systematic approach for analyzing and determining critical factors and their interrelationship and impact upon a particular course of action. Using this approach it is demonstrated how decision analysis techniques are most important to a Program Manager particularly when he is faced with very intricate and complex problems of major weapons system acquisition.
