Book Description
This report provides a utilization assessment of the Air Force Technical Order (TO) Managers Handbook. The handbook was developed by the Air Force Human Resources Lab. to provide TO managers wtih guidelines for selection of the most appropriate format options and procurement of Air Force TOs. Although the primary user has been the Air Force Systems Command, the handbook has been distributed Air Force-wide to organizations having responsibilities for TO acquisition and management. A number of these organizations were contacted concerning their utilization of the handbook and the results indicated that the handbook is used as a quick reference source, especially for TO managers with limited experience. The handbook is also being used in the training environment where it has been a major source of information for the development of a formal TO acquisition and management course and is a useful tool for organizations that provide inhouse training. Whether the handbook is a guide for TO managers is dedatable. A number of recommendations are provided for improving the content of the handbook and for maintaining its relevance when TO procedures, policies, and requirements change. Originator-supplied keywords include: research and development product utilization, technical order acquisition, technical order development, and technical order management.
