Course
629 integrates all the main aspects of technical
management, including technical
program planning and control, system engineering and
concurrent engineering, software development, production
management, test and evaluation, integrated logistics
support, and program control. The procedures we impart
to you are applicable to the technical management
of
any type or size of research, development, production
or engineered construction program.
The course’s
focus is on flexible, integrated, technical- program-management
systems that can be scaled to each application, both
government and commercial, and at the same time comply
with specific program requirements. While it is recognized
that no two programs or projects are identical, a
uniform
and identifiable process exists and that is what you
will learn about. The course explains how to tailor
both the entire system, and the various subsystems
and
procedures to the complexity of the task, and the life
cycle phase of the system, from the requirements
stage
through operations and disposal.
