good familiarity with DOTMLPF business and finance homework help

Assignment: 1) Explain the capability areas, which make up DOTMLPF. 2) How does one become a PM; what are the criteria?

STUDENT 1 (Tull):

I have good familiarity with DOTMLPF. I used to teach this subject area when I was an Army Basic Instructor Course (ABIC). Usually these are the questions you need to ask when you go through the steps of DOTMLPF.

Doctrine: What type of doctrine meaning field manuals (FM), army publications, or technical publications do we need to abide by. What changes were made from the previous editions of the doctrine. Is what we are doing all fall into the right regulation and doctrine. What is the new doctrine that needs to be learned?

Organization: What is the organization that needs the training or the unit that needs the services rendered. What unit structure does this training fit. Does the organization have the specific capabilities to be utilized?

Training: What training exactly needs to be done. How long of a process will the training take and can you map out training schedule to ensure it works out. Will you need specific areas of interest to perform the training needed for the organization provided.

Material: What materials do we need to supply the training and resources to the unit. Do we need safety teams, training aids, specific types of special equipment? Are the materials at hand adequate to support the mission and tasks at hand?

Leadership and Education: Is the leadership educated on how the training process works?

Personnel: What personnel will be attending this training? Are the following qualified and able to continue the education process and pass what they learned on.

Facilities: Do we have the proper facilities necessary to conduct the training. Do we need maintenance bays, classrooms, or maybe open fields with specific training equipment?

To become a program manager, you first need to must have some sort of educational background with business and management. Of course, most basic is to have a degree of some sort that covers somewhere in that field. For social traits, you must have some sort of leadership ability along with a strong managerial personality. Being to convey messages and talk with people plays a major role in it as well.

STUDENT 2:

First, I want to say that DOTMLPF stands for Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel & Facilities and according to CJCSM 3170.01A that DOTMLPF relates to solution of non-materiel elements involved in mitigating the war-fighting capability gaps to impact the direction of requirements earlier in the acquisition process. It is the first step in the Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA) analysis since it ascertains or proposes if a non-material approach or a materiel approach is needed to fulfill a capability gap recognized in the Functional Needs Analysis (FNA). The capabilities that makes up DOTMLPF lies within each seven domains. The first domain is the doctrine which output publications, field manuals, and techniques to help the way we fight in battle. Next is the organization who organize on how we fight by making issue plans, force structure and design update, assessments, table of organization and equipment, demand analysis, construction projects and logistics planning. The third domain is training to help prepare troops in battle by training input, system training plan, training strategy, training analysis and delivery schedule for training. The fourth domain is material which consists of all the gears necessary to equip the forces. The fifth domain is leadership and education to help prepare leaders to lead troops in battle by sending them in to professional military education and integrated priority list. Next is the personnel domain which designate availability of qualified personnel for various operations by implementing force design assessments. Lastly are the facilities to support the troops anywhere in the world by utilizing military construction Army and facility renovation for training facilities.

For me, Program Manager (PM) are people within the DOD who are employed to manage an acquisition program. According to Brown et. al (2009) that Program Manager are “The designated individual with responsibility for and authority to accomplish program objectives for development, production, and sustainment to meet the user’s operational needs” (p. 14). I want to say that to become a Program Manager, one must have a broad standpoint of the program since accomplishment of the duty means the supplies are on time, within budget, and meets the warfighter’s needs. The PM must be a transformational front-runner and an administrator at the same time but not as a task achiever. Must be willing to understands and can work within the managerial systems, established framework, and processes that offer funding and other decisions for the program to proceed. They also need to synchronize the work of defense contractors, specialists, intramural engineers, logisticians, contracting officers, and others, whether assigning them directly to the program office or supporting it through some form of integrated product team or matrix support arrangement. Lastly, PM must be able to foster support for the system and supervises feedbacks and insights that help or impede progress.

STUDENT 3 ( Kaitlin ):

“DOTmLPF-P is the DoD acronym that pertains to the eight possible non-materiel elements involved in solving warfighting capability gaps. These solutions may result from a Capabilities-Based Assessment (CBA) or any study that investigates DoD warfighting capabilities and identifies capability gaps. (“DOTmLPF-P Analysis [ACQuipedia],” n.d.)” DOTmLPF-P stands for doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership. Personnel, facilities, and policy.

DOTmLPF-P stands for doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership. Personnel, facilities, and policy.

  • Doctrine: is any publications, field manuals, and techniques that help us fight.
  • Organization: in not what organization you work for but who organizes and implant plans, force structure, and design update, assessments, table of organization and equipment, demand analysis, construction projects and logistics planning.
  • Training: is how much training we have had and how prepared we are to contribute to the fight. (Training us usually done by exercises on your base the mom what you would do in a real world situation, CBTS, basic training to advanced individual training, unit training, joint exercises, etc)
  • Materiel: Is making sure you are going to have all the material you need to complete your mission.
  • Leadership and education: is how the leaders are prepared to run operations.
  • Personnel: Is the amount of people who are qualified for wartime operations as well as peacetime and contingency operations.
  • Facilities: real property, installations, and industrial facilities
  • Policy: DoD, interagency, or international policy that impacts the other seven non-materiel elements

A program manager is “The designated individual with responsibility for and authority to accomplish program objectives for development, production, and sustainment to meet the user’s operational needs. (p. 14)” Program managers to my office is the person in charge of a specific program. I used to be the program manager for dig permits and outages and now I am the program manager for material control.
