“The modern Navy is a dynamic evolving organization that plays multiple roles and deals with multiple challenges. Manpower planning in the Navy and military does not occur in isolation. It occurs in a larger military environment of multiple missions and acquisitions, in a still larger context of national priorities, and an international setting as well. Each of these environments is changing and the future is uncertain. Many of the elements of change are familiar headlines. Each of these affects the number and types of people the services will need, the number and quality they will be able to attract and retain, the jobs they will be asked to perform, and the ways in which they will be trained.” Blanco, Thomas A. and Hillery, Robert C., “A Sea Story: Implementing The Navy’s Personnel Assignment System,” Operations Research, Vol. 42, No. 5, September-October 1994.
Quality Functional Deployment (QFD) • Bounded in Total Quality Management • Originated in 1972 at Mitsubishi’s Kobe Shipyard • “House of Quality” • “needs and wants of customers” and solution techniques “how do we achieve it” • Time-based planning and communication
