A structured proposal that serves as the principal part of a decision package for enterprise leadership. It includes an analysis of functional process needs or problems; proposed solutions, assumptions, and constraints; alternatives; life-cycle costs; benefits and/or cost analysis; and investment risk analysis. It is consistent with, and amplifies, existing DoD economic analysis policy in DoD Instruction 7041.3.

Manufacturing technology refers to any action which has as its objective the timely establishment or improvement of the manufacturing processes, techniques, or equipment required to support current and projected programs, and the assurance of the ability to produce, reduce lead time, ensure economic availability of end items, reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve reliability, or to enhance safety and anti-pollution measures. MANTECH, per se, is the specific DoD program in this area.

1. A disciplined, unified, and iterative approach to the management and technical activities necessary to integrate support considerations into system and equipment design; develop support requirements that are related consistently to readiness objectives, to design, and to each other; acquire the required support; and provide the required support during the operational phase at minimum cost. 2. A composite of all the support considerations necessary to assure the effective and economical support of a system for its life cycle. It is an integral part of all other aspects of system acquisition and operation.

A quick-turnaround or a detailed analysis of industrial and/or specific factory capabilities to determine the availability of production resources required to support SDS. These resources include capital (including machine tools and special tooling/test equipment), materiel, and manpower needed to meet the range of SDS requirements. IRA includes the results of feasibility studies, producibility analyses, and technology assessments. Shortfalls discovered in IRAs are assessed for risk levels, based on the reasons for the risks, and become issues listed in the BMDO Producibility Programming and Issues Resolution Strategies (PPIRS) document.
Industry:Military
Quantitative system performance parameters, approved by the DoD Component, that are selected as primary indicators of technical achievement of engineering thresholds. These might not be direct measures of, but should always relate to, a system's capability to perform its required mission function and to be supported. Required technical characteristics are usually tested and evaluated by developmental testing and evaluation (DT&E) to ascertain achievement of approved goals and thresholds for these characteristics. Critical technical characteristics selected for a DAB program baseline are reviewed and further approved through the DAB process.

Acquisition program baselines embody the cost, schedule, and performance objectives for the program. The APB is approved by the milestone decision authority milestone reviews as follows: •Concept Baseline, approved at Milestone I, applied to the effort in Phase I, Demonstration and Validation. •Development Baseline, approved at Milestone II, is applied to the effort in Phase II, Engineering and Manufacturing Development. •Production Baseline, approved at Milestone III, is applied to the effort in Phase III, Production and Deployment. Each baseline must contain objectives for key cost, schedule, and performance parameters. Objectives are accompanied by minimum requirements called thresholds. Once signed by the milestone decision authority, APBs may only be changed at subsequent milestone or program reviews, or with the approval of the milestone decision authority as a response to an unrecoverable baseline deviation.
