- Title
Technology Approach: DOD VERSUS BOEING (A Comparative Study).
- Authors
Battershell, A. Lee
- Abstract
This is an analysis of different approaches in the use of technology by Boeing and DoD to determine how they may have affected development time for the C-17 and the Boeing 777. Boeing's focus on cost, schedule, performance, and market competition is contrasted to DoD's focus on performance. The paper concludes that the mere existence of a technology should not obscure (a) the impact its maturity may have on program cost and risk, (b) whether it will meet a real need of the user as opposed to a gold plated one, and (c) whether the added development time it may require could pose unanticipated problems for the customer, or even result in fielding obsolete weapons systems.
