Chapter 2 – <strong>HFI</strong> Processes and Mechanisms<br />
2.1 An Overview of Smart Acquisition and <strong>HFI</strong><br />
2.1.1 Introduction<br />
The information contained in this chapter is derived from various sources, in<br />
particular: ‘The Acquisition Handbook’ [Ref 2], the ‘Acquisition <strong>Management</strong><br />
System’ [Ref 16] and JSP 502 ‘Tri-Service <strong>Guide</strong> to TNA’ [Ref 20].<br />
This section sets <strong>HFI</strong> in its procurement context. In order to do so it is necessary<br />
to outline the Smart Acquisition process in terms of the core relationship between<br />
the customer and the supplier. At each phase of the acquisition process, there is<br />
a requirement for <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Factors</strong> (HF) input. Later in this chapter, these <strong>HFI</strong><br />
activities are outlined against each of the acquisition phases. Under the Smart<br />
Acquisition philosophy, acquisition progresses through a series of phases<br />
designed to take the project through its whole life from Concept to Disposal.<br />
These phases include: Concept; Assessment; Demonstration; Manufacture; In-<br />
Service and Disposal. Together they are commonly referred to as the ‘CADMID<br />
cycle’.<br />
Figure 2-1 below gives an overview of the organisations involved in the<br />
acquisition process. These are discussed in detail in subsequent sections.<br />
