Technical Operations Support III (TOPS III). Delivery Order 0006: An Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)/RX Streamlined Science and Technology (S&T) Planning Guide for Applying Tailored Systems Engineering (SE) Guide and Companion Workbook

Abstract

The AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX) Streamlined S&T Planning Guide and companion Workbook have been created to help RX apply the tenets of Systems Engineering (SE). The Guide explains how to conduct a SE-based S&T planning process using tailorable worksheets to help facilitate the process, open communications, and capture the information necessary for good planning. Although focused on experience in Materials and Manufacturing, this process should be applicable to any S&T planning process. The Guide presents laboratory planning as a five-step process; 1). Form Team (Define Problem), 2). Identify Requirements, 3). Generate Alternatives, 4). Evaluate Alternatives, and 5). Develop/Deliver Action Plan. The activities cultivate better ideas, involvement and communication.
