HARDMAN Comparability Analysis Methodology Guide. Volume 1. Manager's Guide
Abstract
This is the first edition of the Army 5 volume HARDMAN Comparability Analysis Methodology Guide. HARDMAN is a structured approach to the determination of the Manpower, Personnel and Training (MPT) requirements of a weapon system in the earliest phases of its development. The basic analytic approach is comparability analysis, that is, the use of knowledge about similar existing systems to project the MPT requirements of proposed (new) systems. The Army HARDMAN Methodology Guide attempts to satisfy the requirements of the Army by 1) providing details of analytic procedures to a level which permits analysts to execute the HARDMAN Methodology in an actual operational environment, 2) providing a stand-alone guide with maximum flexibility to appeal to different types of users, 3) incorporating field-tested procedures which have proven to reflect actual MPT costs, 4) incorporating lessons learned with the Army data environment to reflect the real constraints in that area and 5) contributing to the Logistics Support analysis performed in accordance with MIL-STD-1388-1A (logistics Support Analysis Data Element Definitions). This volume is the managers guide which has an introduction and background to the project, methodology overview, key output and decision information, key activities for analysis management. Keywords: Alternatives and Tradeoff Analysis, Comparative Analysis, Functional Requirements Identification, Human Resurces in LCSMM, Logistics Analysis, Manpower Cost and Readiness Drivers, Manpower Support Inputs, Support System Standardization, Task Description, Training Requirements Estimation.
