Abstract:

A requirement for the implementation of IPD is an understanding of technology trends, engineering management and statistical methodologies, which are major components in developing a successful strategy for weapon systems. The Engineering Directorate requires support and expertise in these critical areas to meet its requirement to the AMCOM community. A trainingeducation program was developed and a plan to offer such was made to ED engineering personnel. A strategy was developed by which the engineering capabilities particularly in the areas of systems engineering and quality engineering could be refreshed through a series of seminars and training programs. A list of strategic initiatives was developed to aid in the integration of the missile and aviation groups.
