MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration Program) Primer
Abstract
The Manpower and Personnel Integration program (MANPRINT) is a comprehensive management and technical program to enhance human performance and reliability in the operation, maintenance and use of weapon systems and equipment (hereafter referred to as 'system'). MANPRINT achieves this objective by focusing attention on human resource goals and constraints during system design, development, production and upgrade. This MANPRINT primer is designed for both Army and industry MANPRINT practitioners. It provides a basis for their activities and specific 'how to' guidance to deal with MANPRINT activities that must occur throughout the materiel acquisition life cycle. Chapter 1 is an introduction to MANPRINT. It provides the Army's conceptual basis and thrust in MANPRINT. Primary roles and responsibilities for Army and industry are shown in Chapter 2 and Appendix F. Chapter 3 focuses on various aspects of program management--organization planning, scheduling, and resourcing of a comprehensive MANPRINT program throughout the design and development cycle. Technical MANPRINT management is addressed in Chapter 4 in discussions of force level analyses; issues in each of the MANPRINT domains; and planning for and selecting analytical techniques and methodologies for use in satisfying information needed.
