(Lockheed Martin Corporation History, 1996). This second graph as you can see is showing how Lockheed Martin Corporation has grown and has dominated in the defense area over the last four years and are at just mid line with the civilian departments. What is really interesting is that all of these divisions have different kinds of awards and they are both taking direct and indirect cost in different ways. However, I had to choose the shortest and straight to the point examples because they have so many contracts and deal in so many ways from firm-fixed price, cost reimbursement, cost-plus-fixed-fee, etc. One situation was the Lockheed Martin Corporation v. United States of America in 9/29/09 which is based on an indirect cost.

The first MAF detachment was established in the United Kingdom in 1944 by Murray Kendon, a New Zealand pilot serving in the Royal Air Force.
Human resource management (HRM), the management of people within the internal environment of organizations, comprises the activities, policies, and practices involved in planning, obtaining, developing, utilizing, evaluating, maintaining, and retaining the appropriate numbers and skill mix of employees to achieve the organization’s objectives.

It is now well-documented that accidents and poor service quality are primarily rooted in socio-technical human factors, not technology
