Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1986 report by the President's Blue Ribbon Commission on Defense Management (commonly known as the Packard Commission) made many recommendations to improve the management and organization of the Department of Defense (DOD). In February 1989, the President directed the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to fully implement the Commission's recommendations, as well as to substantially improve defense management overall. In July 1989, the President approved and the Secretary issued the Defense Management Report (DMR) which outlined actions needed to improve DOD management. In January 1990, DOD issued a status report on DMR implementation that contained specific management improvement initiatives intended to (1) save an estimated $39 billion in program costs and (2) eliminate an estimated 42,900 civilian and military positions over fiscal year 1991-95. DOD's implementation of several of the DMR savings initiatives have been evaluated. Specific objectives were to (1) determine the status of those initiatives, (2) evaluate the savings estimated to result from implementing some major (high dollar) initiatives, and (3) determine whether the services have reduced the number of acquisition personnel since the Packard Commission's 1986 recommendation.

Book excerpt: "The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 directed acquisition and defense management reform, codified joint operations and education, and clarified authorities and responsibilities for unified commanders, with the overall goal of enhancing the effectiveness of military operations and improving military advice to the National Command Authority. Most of the studies and literature that have critically examined the Act and its results in the last 30 years have found more fault with the joint duty requirements than with the acquisition reforms. Those reforms have pushed the Army and DOD toward an efficiency-driven acquisition system. The greatest changes in acquisition since the passage of the Goldwater-Nichols Act in 1986 have resulted from the end of the Cold War, which removed the threat from the Soviet Union; the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC); and the transformation of the Army. Today's ongoing acquisition reform has its roots in all these issues. The Army receives mixed reviews on acquisition reform in the post-Goldwater-Nichols era. While the Army has adapted well to the new requirements, and has done so more willingly than the other services, it still suffers from acquisition delays, cancellations, and cost overruns. Most of those are due more to internal Army processes rather than external influences, and cannot be attributed to difficulties imposed by Goldwater-Nichols"--Executive summary.

Book Synopsis Defense Acquisition: Observations Two Years After the Packard Commission by : David R. Graham
Download or read book Defense Acquisition: Observations Two Years After the Packard Commission written by David R. Graham and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1986 Packard Commission report recommended changes in the defense acquisition process to reduce development times and costs and to produce weapons better suited to war fighters' needs. These recommendations included restructuring the acquisition organization, improving the work force, overhauling the acquisition decision-making process, and reforming regulations. The Office of the Under Secretary for Acquisition requested this study to help inform the next administration about the current status of acquisition reform: What has been tried, what is working and what isn't. It asked IDA to review developments within the Department in the last two years, and to solicit the views of officials responsible for making the acquisition process work. It directed IDA to provide a progress report on acquisition reform, to make observations on the current status of the acquisition process, and to recommend priorities for further actions. This report summarizes IDA's findings and recommendations. It describes Presidential Directives and legislation resulting from the Packard Commission, and subsequent activity within the department. IDA's findings are based in part on a review of recent legislation, directives and other documents. In addition, IDA conducted interviews with more than 100 individuals during the Summer and Fall of 1988. The interviewees include officials in the Under Secretary's organization and other OSD components of former DoD personnel, academic experts, and officials outside of DoD.

Download or read book Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic. Why Does Acquisition Reform Never Work written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (WSARA) makes some significant changes to the defense acquisition system. However, a House Armed Services Committee press release that accompanied signing of the legislation acknowledged that the bill covers only 20 percent of the Pentagon's buying practices. The Committee intends to introduce new acquisition reform legislation this year with the intent of saving $135 billion over five years, before the ink is even dry on the WSARA. Such legislation seems to be a rite of passage for each new administration--another attempt to wring savings out of defense acquisition by making it more efficient. There have been numerous high-level panels convened to look at ways to improve the system (the Hoover study of 1949, the Fitzhugh Commission of 1970, and the Packard Commission of 1986, just to name a few), yet we continue to see inherent overruns and delinquent schedules in defense acquisition systems. With all of the analytical work put in over the years by highly qualified bodies of defense acquisition experts, why do none of these reform efforts seem to work? Is it even possible to improve defense acquisition and make it a highly efficient, effective system? Or are these efforts continual rearrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic acquisition system that never stops crashing into icebergs? I will attempt to answer some of these questions, based on a short historical recap and search for commonly found, recurring problems identified in previous acquisition reform efforts.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1986 Packard Commission report recommended changes in the defense acquisition process to reduce development times and costs and to produce weapons better suited to war fighters' needs. These recommendations included restructuring the acquisition organization, improving the work force, overhauling the acquisition decision-making process, and reforming regulations. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition requested this study to help inform the next administration about the current status of acquisition reform: what has been tried, what is working, and what isn't. It asked IDA to review developments within the Department in the last two years, to provide a progress report on acquisition reform, to make observations on the current status of the acquisition process, and to recommend priorities for further actions. Volume I of this report summarizes IDA's findings and recommendations. IDA provides an assessment of the extent to which DoD has implemented the kind of management that the Packard Commission advocated. It notes several improvements but concludes that DoD has not yet made the fundamental changes required to implement the Commission's basic philosophy. IDA recommended actions in several areas in the next administration: organization, decision-making, personnel and procurement practices. Volume II contains background papers that provide an in-depth examination of selected issues in support of these recommendations.

Download or read book The Impact of Economic Factors and Acquisition Reforms on the Cost of Defense Weapon Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost overruns in weapon system purchases have plagued the Department of Defense (DoD) throughout its history and have resulted in schedule delays and potentially reduced combat capability. This thesis created an empirical model that begins to explain those cost overruns. The model describes how changes in defense budgets, consolidation of the defense industry, acquisition reform, war, and cost estimating error are related to cost overruns. The cost performance of 186 major weapon system programs managed by the Air Force, Army, and Navy from 1970 to 2002 was described using a panel regression model. This research found that funding instability resulting from changing levels of defense budgets accounted for an increase of over $13.3 billion in weapon system costs since 1970. This research also found that the defense industry consolidation of the 1990s did not result in significant savings to the DoD. Finally, this research found that contrary to past studies, several acquisition reforms are correlated with a decrease in weapon system cost overruns. In particular, reforms resulting from the Nunn-McCurdy Act of 1982, the Packard Commission Recommendations of 1986 and the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 resulted in savings of almost $124 billion since 1982.
