Defense Standardization And Specification Program Standardization Case Studies PDF Download

This pamphlet, developed for the DSPO, provides instructors with selected standardization case studies. One way to present the studies is to provide only the first part to a student work group (1-6 students per work group). After some period of time for the group to develop a course of action for the case and to address the discussion topics, the group should present its 'solution.' the second part or the 'outcome' should then be distributed, and time allowed for group review and further discussion. The students should be permitted to retain a complete set of case studies as printed for further use as appropriate. The pamphlet also contains appendices which should be useful in the identification of cost benefits and the preparation of additional case studies. Although the pamphlet was primarily developed for use in the Defense Specification Management Course, conducted by the U.S. Army Logistics Management Center, Fort Lee, Virginia, instructors for other training courses for senior level acquisition and program managers should consider using it as a part of their curriculum.
