Introduction to the System MANPRINT Management Plan a. DOD Regulation 5000.2–R states: “A comprehensive management and technical strategy for human systems integration shall be initiated early in the acquisition process to ensure that:
Human performance; the burden the design imposes on manpower, personnel, and training (MPT); and safety and health aspects are considered throughout the system design and development processes.” Historically, successful acquisition programs have used the System MANPRINT Management Plan System (SMMP) to fulfill this requirement for a Human Systems Integration (HSI) strategy. A SMMP or SMMP-like tracking document will be utilized to identify MANPRINT issues and their recommended resolutions for all ACAT systems. b.
The SMMP is a tailored planning and management tool that outlines and documents the MANPRINT manage- ment approach, associated decision and planning efforts, user concerns, and resolution of MANPRINT issues during system acquisition. Identification and documentation of these issues early in the acquisition cycle increases the probability of their resolution, thereby enhancing total system performance, affordability, supportability, and conserva- tion of the Army’s resources.
The Defense Acquisition Deskbook recommends that the PM develop a Human System Integration Plan (HSIP) (SMMP equivalent) when the system has complex human-systems interfaces; significant manpower or training costs; personnel concerns; or safety, health hazard, or survivability issues. c. The SMMP should be the cornerstone of the MANPRINT effort to ensure human considerations are effectively integrated into the development and acquisition of Army systems. (1) The SMMP enhances and documents the Army’s effort to focus on total system performance.
Consequently, the goal of optimizing total system performance at an affordable cost of ownership must consider military and civilian personnel (including contractor) requirements, and the feasibility and costs for operating, maintaining, repairing, training, supporting, and disposing of systems. (2) The SMMP is a living document. It should track the current status of issues to include: Plans to address the issue; actions taken or decisions made; those responsible; and the current status. It should also contain potential or real MANPRINT data sources and MANPRINT analyses planned, underway, or completed.
By recording the issues and their subsequent resolution, the SMMP provides an audit trail for subsequent system reviews. (3) Information contained in the SMMP should flow to other documents (for example, ORD, user’s functional description (UFD), TEMP, RFP, System Training Plan (STRAP)). Likewise, new MANPRINT information contained in other documents should flow to the SMMP. To be effective, all documentation must be reviewed periodically to ensure this crosswalk of information occurs. 4–2. MANPRINT management a. As with all MANPRINT activities, MANPRINT management should be initiated early in the process.
The SMMP/CDE will be developed during the ICT and crosswalked by the ICT group leader to the TSM and PM. b. The MANPRINT WIPT will tailor the format of the SMMP, which should contain those elements deemed essential and meaningful for use by the CBTDEV, FP, and the PM. The following potential SMMP elements, which have proven useful in past MANPRINT programs, will be considered: (1) System information. (2) Detailed target audience description (see glossary for definition). (3) MANPRINT issues (CDE-type data) and an issue tracking system. (4) Coordination to include points of contact (POCs). c.
Unresolved issues and issues that have been successfully resolved and reflect favorably on the system should be reported in the appropriate domain assessment. 12 AR 602–2 • 1 June 2001 Assessment ACAT ID, IC, and II ACAT IA (IAM, IAC) AT III, IIIAC and IV Draft ODCSPER MANPRINT Assess- ment ARL–HRED ARL–HRED ARL–HRED ODCSPER MANPRINT Final Assessment DCSPER (DAPE–MR) DCSPER (DAPE–MR) DCSPER (DAPE–MR)
