MANPRINT refers to the comprehensive management and technical effort to assure total system effectiveness by constructive integration into material development and acquisition all relevant information concerning the MANPRINT domains of Manpower, Personnel, Training, Human Factors Engineering, System Safety, and Health Hazard Assessment. Although the MANPRINT process has attained many of its objectives in recent materiel procurements, there remains insufficient integration of MANPRINT factors into key materiel acquisition process (MAP) events, studies, and analyses including: (1) Operational Mode Summary/Mission Profile (OMS/MP); (2) Operational and Organizational Plan (O & O Plan); (3) Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM); (4) Cost and Operational Effectiveness Plan (COEA); (5) Required Operational Capability (ROC) ; (6) Request for Proposal (RFP); (7) Testing and Evaluation (T & E); and (8) Fielding. These materiel acquisition process events are critical to the determination of system performance and cost requirements and to ensuring that system performance and cost objectives are met throughout the materiel acquisition process. Therefore, it is essential that MANPRINT factors are fully integrated into these materiel acquisition process events.
PERSPECTIVE This book is important to everyone concerned with the design and development of people-oriented systems. The Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) program is a major military system procurement initiative adopted by the Army to focus on the needs and capabilities of the soldier. This program is unique in that it integrates six areas of user concerns which include human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, health hazards, and system safety throughout the development cycle of Army materiel. Even though MAN PRINT was developed for Army systems, the philosophy and techniques used in this program extend well beyond military systems used by soldiers. It can be applied to all products and systems used by people such as automobiles, airplanes, boats, control rooms, automated manufacturing, telecommunications, computers, and medical equipment. Interestingly, the impetus for MAN PRINT came from the senior managers who buy these systems. During the early and mid-1980s, two Army generals, M. R. Thurman and R. M. Elton, who served successively as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, were instrumental in fostering MANPRINT development. By the end of the 1980s, this program was integrated throughout the standard procurement system of the Army. The formal statement of acquisition policy is contained in Army Regulation 602-2.
