Design Considerations and Criteria for a Management Information and Control System for the Sidewinder Program Office, Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California.

Abstract

This thesis examines, specifically, the needs and criteria for a Management Information and Control System (MICS) to adequately fulfill the control and planning aspects of the program management process at the Sidewinder Program Office at NWC (SPO/NWC). The authors discuss the considerations and criteria appropriate for a viable MICS in general application and examine the existing SPO/NWC environment and MICS. Roles, responsibilities, information flows, and controls with respect to the SPO/NWC are identified. The authors stipulate the information and control requirements necessary to ensure successful SPO/NWC accomplishment of responsibilities and conclude that the current system is inadequate. They present a conceptual model of a MICS which would provide the planning and control capabilities required.
