MN3363 Acquisition Manufacturing and Quality Management

For AAAP program students. This course provides the student with knowledge and application of integrated management control processes with regard to performance, cost, and schedule, while examining higher-level and real world defense systems. Issue-oriented topic areas likely to affect Program Management Office personnel include: acquisition reform; acquisition strategy; industrial base; production and manufacturing; quality management; and risk management. Integrative case studies involving managerial problem solving and decision making in the PMO environment are also used to provide application of concepts in both IPT teaming and multiple-role individual settings. Teamwork exercises are conducted to reinforce concepts and add real-world human dynamics. Upon completion, all exercises are evaluated.

Course Learning Outcomes

• Describe aspects and complexities of manufacturing in the defense industry.
• Given a defense capability or weapon system program, distinguish the impact of current DoD policies as they relate to industrial capabilities.
• Given an example weapon system capability need, analyze requirements and write performance specifications.
• Given a sample warranty, contracts, or Engineering Change Proposal, apply FAR/DFARS policies governing warranty IAW DoD 5000 series documents.
• Given a sample requirements document apply the source selection process including the RFP, Statement of Objectives / Statement of Work (SOO/SOW), Selection Criteria, and Instruction to Offerors IAW DoD 5000 series and the FAR/DFARS.
• Given hypothetical guidance from the contracting officer, apply the Pre-Award Survey, Technical Support to Negotiations, and Progress Payments processes IAW FAR/DFARS.
• Given the 5000 Series Directives/Regulations, FAR and DFARS, relate the requirements for a quality management system.
• Given ISO 9001:2015, relate the requirements for a quality management system.
• Given the four rules for defining lack of process control, and process control charts, determine whether processes are in or out of control.
• Given a sample integrated management plan, analyze the adequacy of the details for manufacturing IAW production planning systems and DFARS.
• Given a sample weapons system program, analyze the design for producibility and assess the manufacturing readiness of the program.
• Given the elements of various environmental laws and DoD regulation reference ESOH, determine the impacts they have on production and quality management.
