Integrating Industrial Preparedness into the Acquisition Process: A guide for Program Managers.
Abstract
This guide is presented in two parts. Part I addresses Industrial Preparedness Concepts and Structure and Part II looks at Industrial Preparedness Issues and Actions. Part I is designed to provide the reader with essential background about Industrial Preparedness. Part II is designed to be a practical reference for all participants in the acquisition process. Together, the parts (1) create and awareness of the risk than may occur by ignoring industrial base implications of weapon system acquisition; (2) demonstrate that industrial base issues can be effectively evaluated by the program manager with minimum disruption to current operations; (3) describe the elements of an industrial base analysis process; and, (4) provide guidance for the integration of the analysis process in the various stages of system acquisition and development. Keywords: Industrial preparedness; Industrial base; Production planning; IPP process; Mobilization response; Acquisition cycle overview; Acquisition strategy. (kt)
