Today’s battlespace volatility demands that the acquisition community be flexible and responsive. In order to meet the rapid and complex fielding requirements of the modern military, thorough planning is essential. CORTEK combines the best practices of the project management industry with time-proven methods used by the military Services. What results is project planning that not only is expeditious, but also effectively unites the military customer’s requirements and civilian manufacturer’s processes.
CORTEK personnel are adept at utilizing common project software to capture the core of acquisition planning. This enables resource allocation, execution control, and big picture organization. Moreover, it provides an easy transition to work breakdown structures, activity-based costing, and other industry planning and quality tools.
CORTEK also utilizes the “plan of action and milestones” approach used by the Services which assigns task ownership and links activity to military objectives. The combination of the two concepts is a powerful system that makes rapid and thorough acquisition planning eminently achievable.
