Hardware vs. Manpower Comparability Methodology. Volume 3. Step 2: Manpower Requirements Analysis
Abstract
The Army Hardware vs. Manpower (HARDMAN) Comparability Methodology (HCM) is a six-step process for determining a weapon system's manpower, personnel, and training (MPT) requirements. It provides a structured approach for early MPT estimation based comparability analysis, an analytic system that uses knowledge about similar existing systems and technological growth trends to project the MPT requirements of proposed new systems. The HCM's six interrelated steps are Systems Analysis, Manpower Requirements Analysis, Personnel Pipeline Analysis, Training Resource Requirements Analysis, Impact Analysis, and Tradeoff Analysis. The HCM has been successfully applied to a range of weapons systems, including air, armor, artillery, infantry, air defense, command and control, and intelligence systems. The Product Improvement Program for HCM made major revisions to the existing HCM Guide. The scope has been expanded to include several new areas; existing procedures have been revised, refined, and clarified; and the entire Guide has been rewritten to achieve greater clarity, consistency, and completeness. This volume addresses manpower requirements of operators and maintainers. The required Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and Additional Skill Identifiers (ASI) are identified and the total requirements of each are determined in this step.
