MIL-HDBK-502: ACQUISITIONALOGISTICSSection 9:Integrated Product Team Setup andInvolvement9.1 ABOUT DOD INTEGRATED PRODUCT TEAMS INGENERAL9.1.1 The Integrated Product and Process Development ConceptIntegrated product and process development (IPPD) is a managementprocess that integrates all activities from product concept throughproduction/field support. It uses a multi-functional team to optimize theproduct and its manufacturing and sustainment processes simultaneously tomeet cost and performance objectives. IPPD evolved from concurrentengineering and the philosophies of quality management. It is a systemengineering process integrated with sound business practices and commonsense decision making.The basic principles of IPPD are:• Customer focus• Concurrent development of products and processes• Early and continuous life cycle planning• Maximum flexibility to optimize contractor approaches• Robust design and improved process capability• Event-driven scheduling• Multi-disciplinary teamwork• Empowerment9.1.2 Purpose of Integrated Product TeamsIntegrated product teams (IPTs) are the means through which IPPD isimplemented. They are its fundamental building blocks. These crossfunctionalteams are formed for the specific purpose of delivering a productfor an external or internal customer.IPT members should have complementary skills. They are committed to acommon purpose, common performance objectives, and a common9-1

Membersof an integrated product team represent the technical, manufacturing,business, and support organizations that are critical to developing,procuring, and supporting the product. Each individual should offer his orher expertise to the team and, equally important, understand and respectthe expertise of the other members of the team. Team members worktogether to achieve the team’s objectives.Critical to the formation of a successful IPT are the following principles:• All functional disciplines that will influence the productthroughout its lifetime should be represented on the team.• The business unit manager, the program manager and functionalmanagers and the integrated process team members must clearlyunderstand the team’s goals, responsibilities, and authority.• Resource requirements like staffing, funding, and facilities mustbe identified.9.1.3 Integrated Product Teams and the Acquisition ProcessThe IPT concept for oversight and review is intended to replace the currentsequential process. The current process often produces a product at theprogram office level which, when reviewed at higher levels, is modifiedsubstantially or even rejected.In the context of a DoD acquisition program there are three types of IPTs:Overarching IPTThe Overarching IPT is formed for each program to provide assistance,and oversight as the program proceeds through the acquisition life cycle. Itis formed at the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) or componentlevel and is composed of the program manager, program executive officer,and appropriate component staff, joint staff, OSD staff principals or theirrepresentatives.Working-level IPTsWorking-level IPTs are formed at the OSD and component level to providestaff-level functional knowledge and expertise to the program. They arecomposed of the program manager or his representative, and theappropriate staff members who can assist the program. For major programsworking-level IPTs are generally focused on a particular discipline orfunctional area such as supportability, testing, cost/performance orcontracting. For small projects one working-level IPT may be focused onthe whole effort. One exception to this rule is the integrating IPT which the9-2
