 | This paper presents the results of internal Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) research investigating the potential applications of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to Concurrent Engineering (CE). Influences from the Total Quality Management (TQM) initiative, as well as CE, have increased acquisition emphasis on customer satisfaction and proper definition of the Voice of the Customer. In weapon system acquisition the combat command's requirements are the voice of the customer and ... |

|
| The SUMMA (Small Unit Maintenance Manpower Analyses) Model is a microcomputer-based decision aid intended to portray the consequences of maintenance job redefinition. This job redefinition typically takes the form of job merger or job enlargement. The impetus for broadening the maintenance workforce in this way is to ensure adequate manpower support for dispersed, small-unit combat operations. The issues surrounding maintenance job definition have taken on new importance. Rivet Workforce and ... |

| Authors:
Edward Boyle; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH
|
 | This bibliography lists references to the literature on manpower, personnel, and training (MPT) and human factors analysis related to the system acquisition process. The list encompasses research reports, guides and handbooks, and case studies issued by all three Services and by Department of Defense contractors. The HARDMAN (HARDware vs. MANpower) Comparability Methodology of the Army and Navy, and HARDMAN's antecedents in the Air Force, are emphasized. Documents distributed since 1980 ... |

L. S. Finegold; M. E. Wuest; J. G. Flaugher; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH
|
| A simulated three-dimensional computer graphics display system was developed to address issues critical to the training of Air Force air weapons controllers; primarily those training issues related to air intercept tactics and geometry. The research and development system provided the capability to display and control up to three aircraft in a defined airspace, plus the addition of supplemental graphics to address specific training issues using full-color, raster-scan, animated microcomputer display ... |

|
| The theme of increased readiness through training has an inherent assumption that adequate facilitates either exist, can be modified, or can be built to house computerized training devices. Too often adequate facilities do not exist or require long lead times to acquire. Training capabilities can become a myth to the realities of not having an adequate facility or of having modern training equipment fail because of facility deficiencies such as ... |

| Authors:
Sharon R. Nichols; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH
|
| The Air Force Human Resources Laboratory has worked with and developed three maintenance support resource forecasting models. They are the Logistics Composite Model (LCOM), Reliability and Maintainability Model (R&M), and the Expected Values Model(EVM). The objective of this study is to analyze these three models in terms of: (a) how they relate to each other, (b) the minimal data requirements of each model, (c) how the models can best be ... |

| Authors:
John P. Foley Jr; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH
|
| This paper contains the official position statement of the Air Force Logistis Command concerning the improvement for the Air Force Technical Order System. It appeared early in 1972, and shortly thereafter was approved as the official Air Force Technical Order Improvement Program. This paper also contains the April 1972 comments of Dr. John P. Foley concerning this program. They are presented as his personal comments and do not represent the ... |

|
| The feasibility of predetermining the design options available to the engineer during system design and placing the results in a decision tree format was investigated. Design Option Decision Trees for propulsion and flight control subsystems were developed. The decision trees were evaluated by eight engineers experienced in designing these specialized areas of aerospace systems. It is concluded that the decision format is a feasible and valid method for describing system ... |

|
| Authors:
William B. Askren; Richard R. Newton; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH
|
| The report reviews and analyzes 95 documents related to personnel subsystem test and evaluation. The reports are divided into two groups: (1) system tests and (2) related research material. Each report is abstracted and then analyzed further in terms of 11 categories: Scope and relation to personnel subsystem elements; Test objectives; Data requirements and test criteria; Data collection methodology; Support requirements; Reducing and analyzing data; Significant test results; Communicating and ... |
