An iterative methodology has been developed for creating operations concept documents (OCDs) that improves operations concept development by using a graphic process flow technique. This technique analyzes and presents the operations concept in a format that system developers, customers, and operations personnel can readily understand. The approach reduces costs and complexities associated with the more conventional OCD development preparation by stressing hierarchical text development. For example, one OCD constructed using this methodology was completed in 20 percent of the conventional development time.
