Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD relies on thousands of suppliers to provide weapons, equipment, and raw materials to meet U.S. national security objectives. Yet, increased globalization in the defense industry and consolidation of the defense supplier base into a few prime contractors has reduced competition and single-source suppliers have become more common for components and subsystems. This report: (1) assessed DoD's efforts to monitor the health of its defense supplier base; and (2) determined how DoD identifies and addresses gaps that might exist in its supplier base. To conduct its work, the auditor surveyed 20 major DoD weapon acquisition program officials on potential supplier-base gaps. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) relies on thousands of suppliers to provide weapons, equipment, and raw materials to meet U.S. national security objectives. Yet, increased globalization in the defense industry and consolidation of the defense supplier base into a few prime contractors has reduced competition and single-source suppliers have become more common for components and subsystems. For this report, GAO (1) assessed DOD's efforts to monitor the health of its defense supplier base, and (2) determined how DOD identifies and addresses gaps that might exist in its supplier base. To conduct its work, GAO reviewed supplier-base related laws, regulations, and guidelines; met with officials from DOD's Office of Industrial Policy, defense contractors, and other DOD officials; and surveyed 20 major DOD weapon acquisition program officials on potential supplier-base gaps. GAO is recommending that DOD fully apply criteria to identify and monitor supplier-base concerns and create reporting requirements for when to elevate concerns about supplier-base gaps. DOD agreed to fully apply and publish criteria for elevating supplier-base concerns, but does not agree that formal reporting requirements are needed for prime contractors. We maintain that DOD needs a mechanism to ensure that information flows to the program office and higher levels within DOD as needed.

This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD relies on thousands of suppliers to ensure it has the weapons and supporting equipment needed to meet U.S. national security objectives. In October 2008, a report was issued on an assessment of DoD's efforts to monitor the health of its supplier base and identify and address gaps, and recommended that DoD develop a departmentwide framework and consistent approach, which DoD has begun to implement. In light of increased globalization in the defense industry and consolidation of the defense supplier base into a few prime contractors, Congress requested this review of DoD's efforts to assess supplier-base availability for future defense needs.

Book Synopsis Defense Supplier Base by : Belva Martin
Download or read book Defense Supplier Base written by Belva Martin and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counterfeit parts -- generally those whose sources knowingly misrepresent the parts' identity or pedigree -- have the potential to seriously disrupt the DoD supply chain, delay missions, and affect the integrity of weapon systems. Almost anything is at risk of being counterfeited, from fasteners used on aircraft to electronics used on missile guidance systems. Further, there can be many sources of counterfeit parts as DoD draws from a large network of global suppliers. This report examined: (1) DoD's knowledge of counterfeit parts in its supply chain; (2) DoD processes to detect and prevent counterfeit parts; and (3) commercial initiatives to mitigate the risk of counterfeit parts. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
Book Synopsis Democracy's Arsenal by : Jacques S. Gansler
Download or read book Democracy's Arsenal written by Jacques S. Gansler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert explains why the security needs of the twenty-first century require a transformation of the defense industry of the twentieth century. New geopolitical realities—including terrorism, pandemics, rogue nuclear states, resource conflicts, insurgencies, mass migration, economic collapse, and cyber attacks—have created a dramatically different national-security environment for America. Twentieth-century defense strategies, technologies, and industrial practices will not meet the security requirements of a post-9/11 world. In Democracy's Arsenal, Jacques Gansler describes the transformations needed in government and industry to achieve a new, more effective system of national defense. Drawing on his decades of experience in industry, government, and academia, Gansler argues that the old model of ever-increasing defense expenditures on largely outmoded weapons systems must be replaced by a strategy that combines a healthy economy, effective international relations, and a strong (but affordable) national security posture. The defense industry must remake itself to become responsive and relevant to the needs of twenty-first-century security.
Book Synopsis Defense Industrial Base by : United States. Government Accountability Office
Download or read book Defense Industrial Base written by United States. Government Accountability Office and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, DOD spends billions of dollars acquiring and sustaining weapon systems to meet U.S. national security objectives. DOD relies on an extensive, multi-tiered network of suppliers that make up the defense industrial base to provide the components, subsystems, raw materials, and equipment to develop and sustain these weapon systems. Ensuring that these suppliers can provide products and services at the time, quantity, and quality DOD needs is essential to meeting national security objectives. MIBP is DOD’s focal point for assessing and mitigating department-wide industrial base risks. GAO was asked to review DOD’s efforts to ensure a viable defense industrial base. This report addresses DOD’s approach to identify industrial base risks and its investments to address those risks. GAO recommends that DOD make better use of existing supplier data and identify the appropriate workforce mix needed to work with business-sensitive data.

Download or read book Defense Logistics written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "DOD estimated that overall spending on logistics, including supply chain management, was more than $210 billion in fiscal year 2010. Because of long-standing weaknesses in supply chain management, GAO has designated DOD supply chain management as a high-risk area and identified three focus areas for improvement-requirements forecasting, asset visibility, and materiel distribution. GAO reviewed the extent to which DOD has developed and implemented (1) corrective action plans that address challenges in the three focus areas, (2) an effective program for monitoring and validating the effectiveness and sustainability of supply chain management corrective actions, and (3) an ability to demonstrate supply chain management progress. GAO prepared this report to assist Congress in its oversight of DOD's supply chain management. GAO reviewed strategic and improvement plans, reviewed documents detailing the performance management framework, and assessed performance measures. GAO recommends that DOD develop and implement corrective action plans and performance measures for asset visibility and materiel distribution and take steps to fully institute its performance management framework. DOD concurred or partially concurred with two recommendations and did not concur with four, citing ongoing initiatives and existing policy. GAO"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counterfeit parts, generally those whose sources knowingly misrepresent the parts' identity or pedigree, have the potential to seriously disrupt the Department of Defense (DOD) supply chain, delay missions, and affect the integrity of weapon systems. Almost anything is at risk of being counterfeited, from fasteners used on aircraft to electronics used on missile guidance systems. Further, there can be many sources of counterfeit parts as DOD draws from a large network of global suppliers. Based on a congressional request, GAO examined (1) DOD's knowledge of counterfeit parts in its supply chain, (2) DOD processes to detect and prevent counterfeit parts, and (3) commercial initiatives to mitigate the risk of counterfeit parts. GAO's findings are based on an examination of DOD regulations, guidance, and databases used to track deficient parts, as well as a Department of Commerce study on counterfeit parts; interviews with Commerce, DOD, and commercial-sector officials at selected locations; and a review of planned and existing efforts for counterfeit-part mitigation. GAO recommends that DOD leverage existing initiatives to establish anticounterfeiting guidance and disseminate this guidance to all DOD components and defense contractors. DOD concurred with each of the recommendations.
Book Synopsis DOD Assessments of Supplier-base Availability for Future Defense Needs by : Belva M. Martin
Download or read book DOD Assessments of Supplier-base Availability for Future Defense Needs written by Belva M. Martin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) relies on thousands of suppliers to ensure it has the weapons and supporting equipment needed to meet U.S. national security objectives. Congress has provided DOD with a variety of authorities to allow it to maintain information on its suppliers and to take actions to ensure that its suppliers can deliver needed items. Both DOD and Commerce conduct assessments of supplier-base availability for defense needs that generally focus on the next 5 years. Several offices within DOD and Commerce's Office of Technology Evaluation have a role in assessing supplier-base availability, primarily conducting short-term assessments of selected sectors or existing weapon programs. In 2004, DOD's Office of Industrial Policy conducted a one-time series of comprehensive DOD-wide assessments of supplier-base availability that forecasted 10-20 years into the future. According to DOD and Commerce officials, assessments of future supplier-base availability for defense needs beyond a 5-year time frame can have limitations, in part, because it can be difficult to predict technologies and whether investment in the supplier base will be needed to support these technologies. Recently, the National Research Council and an industry association recommended that DOD continually assess the supplier base from a more strategic perspective to include its availability for long-term defense needs. DOD has not acted on these recommendations; however, DOD plans to incorporate industrial-base considerations into its 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review to raise awareness of long-term, future, supplier-base availability for defense needs.
