Military project management for the production phase of
system acquisition is discussed. A management framework
based on analysis of five principles—planning , organizing,
staffing, directing, and controlling—is constructed.
Organization alternatives for production management are proposed
to the Aegis Weapon System Project Manager, who
sponsored this research. The results of this analysis
indicate that when a project manager's background is categorized
as being operational, administrative or technical,
significant conclusions can be drawn concerning the characteristics
of the project manager best suited to manage the
production phase and the structure of his production organization.
Investigation also revealed that the primary functions of military project organizations in the Production
phase of system acquisition are: Business Management,
Systems Engineering, Production Control, Quality and Testing,
and Fleet Support. Departmentation along these functional
lines during the Production phase of system acquisition
appears to reflect the economic division of work in the
military project organization.
