A New Approach to Defense Industrial Planning: Briefing Documentation

Abstract

Documents a briefing on policy implications of recent Rand research on defense industrial surge capability. The briefing suggests that a methodology for assessing defense industrial surge capability should be based on good demand analysis, should provide a methodology for obtaining an overview of the industrial activity necessary for defense production, and should have a mechanism for gathering detailed information from potential problem industries. Such methodology was tested in the Rand research and is suggested as an alternative to the current Department of Defense Industrial Preparedness Planning (IPP) data-collection.
