The Operations and Support (O&S) Phase is where a system is used and supported by users in the field. The main focus of this phase is the execution of a support system that sustains the system in the most cost-effective manner possible. The second main focus of this phase is the disposal of a system […]
Cancelled Note: The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 5123.01H “Charter Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) and Implementation of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS)” replaces the CJCSI 31070.01. The purpose of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 3170.01 is to establish the policies for
The Production and Deployment (PD) Phase is where a system that satisfies an operational capability is produced and deployed to an end-user. The phase has two major efforts; (1) Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and (2) Full-Rate Production and Deployment (FRP&D). The phase begins after a successful Milestone C review and Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD)
Update: The CPD has been eliminated from the JCIDS process The Capability Production Document (CPD) captures the information necessary to support production, testing, and deployment of an affordable and supportable increment within an acquisition strategy. The CPD identifies, in threshold/objective format, the specific attributes that contribute most significantly to the desired operational capability. The CPD
The Execution Phase is the real-world application of the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) Process. The execution review occurs simultaneously with program and budget reviews. The execution review provides feedback to the senior leadership concerning the effectiveness of current and prior resource allocations. Over time, metrics are being developed to support the execution review that
The Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction (TMRR) Phase is one of five phases that make up the defense acquisition process. It’s focused on making sure a program is ready to enter into the Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phase by having reduced risk, mature requirements, funding, and stable programitics. Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction (TMRR)
The Programming Phase of the PPBE process defines and analyzes alternative force structures, weapon systems, and support systems together with their multi-year resource implications and the evaluation of various tradeoff options. The Programming Phase is the process for balancing and integrating resources among the various programs according to certain priorities. The Programming Phase begins with the
The Budgeting Phase of the PPBE Process includes formulation, justification, execution, and control of an organization’s or program’s budget. The primary purpose of the Budgeting phase is to scrutinize the first one or two years of a program’s budget to ensure efficient use of resources and to produce a DoD budget request that can be
The Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) Phase assesses potential solutions for a needed capability in an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and satisfies the phase-specific Entrance Criteria for the next program milestone designated by the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA). The MSA phase is critical to program success and achieving materiel readiness because it’s the first opportunity to
Planning is determining what needs to be done, by whom, and by when, in order to fulfill one’s assigned responsibility. It is important to prepare a plan keeping in view the necessities of the organization or project. It serves the following three (3) critical functions: [1] Helps management to clarify, focus, and research their businesses
