TARGET VALUE ANALYSIS

LB&M ASSOCIATES AND PERCEPTRONICS ARE UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO DEVELOP TECHNIQUES AND INNOVATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TARGET VALUE ANALYSIS. THE LB&M/PERCEPTRONICS TEAM WILL USE A "TOTAL SYSTEM APPROACH" AND THE REPORT WILL ADDRESS ALL AREAS (DOCTRINE, MATERIEL, FORCE STRUCTURE, AND TRAINING) BUT EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON THE MOST OBVIOUS AREAS OF NEED. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL PROVIDE A DETAILED CONCEPT FOR DETERMINING DOCTRINAL, SITUATIONAL, AND RELATIONAL TARGET VALUES. IT WILL INCLUDE DEFAULT VALUES FOR GENERAL USE AND WILL BE CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING CHANGES IN GUIDANCE AND IN EACH VALUE THAT MAKES UP THE TOTAL TARGET VALUE. METHODOLOGY FOR ACCOMPLISHING THIS WORK INCLUDES PERFORMING A FUNCTIONAL DECOMPOSITION OF TARGET ATTRIBUTES WITH AN OBJECTIVE TO VIEW THE TOTAL SITUATION FROM THE ENEMY FORCE PERSPECTIVE. THE TOTAL SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENCY IN VALUING TARGETS THROUGHOUT A COMMAND AND WILL ENSURE ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION IS EVALUATED FOR RELATIVE IMPORTANCE. THE PLAN AND METHODOLOGY FOR PERFORMING THE FOLLOW-ON PHASE II DETAILED ANALYSIS ALSO WILL BE PROVIDED AS PART OF THE PHASE I EFFORT. THIS PHASE WILL FOCUS ON DETAILED ANALYSES REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A SOLID, SUPPORTABLE BASIS FOR TVA PROGRAMS AND THE JUSTIFICATION AND SUPPORT IN THE BUDGET PROCESS.
