United States Naval Hospital Ship Program: History, Evolution, and Configuration Management.
1987
Roberts, William H | Jr
This thesis presents an analysis of past and present American and International hospital ships with the goal of categorizing Technical, Political and Cultural (TPC) influences. The theoretical framework for such an effort is the TPC Theory advocated by Noel M. Tichy Configuration Management (CM) is offered to the reader as a unique managerial and integrative mechanism for controlling, coordinating and implementing TPC influences in a Department of Defense system such as the 1980's hospital ship project. The author concludes that a successful merging of TPC Theory and Configuration Management is a possible and desired result. Recommendations include utilizing the TPC/CM ideas in future Naval Medical Command systems and specific recommendations for managing TPC influences in future hospital ship projects.
