Training Services (SIN 874-4)

Earned Value Management Systems

This 1-day course introduces the process of implementing and using EVMS on DoD programs. The DOD is emphasizing Integrated Product and Process Teams as its acquisition management structure of choice. EVMS is also the IPT management decision tool of choice. This places a greater burden on each team member to interpret and use EVMS data in their everyday decision making. The BRTRC Institute's EVMS course addresses any lack of EVMS capability that might prevent team members from making their most effective program decisions.

Systems Engineering Management

This 2-day course takes a critical look at the DOD Acquisition and reform philosophy with emphasis on performance-based integrated product and process management. Government managers now focus mainly on functional and operational performance requirements, allowing contractors maximum flexibility to deliver optimized, engineered solutions. This course examines core SE processes and approaches in light of this "new" technical management orientation. Participants will fully understand the unique role, responsibility, and expectation of each party... defining requirements, through design, to production and delivery... and beyond.

Quality Management

The focus of this 2-day course is on "quality of management" instead of "management of quality". The BRTRC Institute takes a fresh look at an acquisition management topic that, in the past, was mainly invisible until program delivery problems surfaced. Subsequent attention to quality issues was then, too often, too late. Recent DoD policy voids reliance on yesterday's conventional prescriptive contracting approaches and management methods. This course emphasizes integrated "up-front and early" activity to meet program objectives. Participants get practical alternatives to traditional time-consuming, expensive, and reactive approaches. These alternatives satisfy the new DoD performance-oriented philosophy.

Performance Specification Writing

This 3-day workshop draws from the BRTRC Institute's four years of experience in teaching Performance Specification Writing. It can be quickly tailored to customer needs by drawing from course modules explaining Performance Specification policy concepts, MILSPEC conversion techniques, converting requirements documents to performance specifications, and other related topics. Case studies, complete with example performance specifications drawn from previous work, can be provided or the workshop can be adjusted to address an ongoing customer program or specification. The BRTRC Institute also can provide an advanced "get it done" workshop for customers who have completed training and want help in preparing a performance specification on a particular project.
