Book excerpt: Action taken by the Ministry of Defence to balance its overall budget in the short term following the Strategic Defence and Security Review has contributed to a near £500 million in-year cost increase in the 15 largest defence projects. When coupled with previous cost growth, these projects are now £6 billion above forecasts made when the main investment decisions were taken. For the third successive year, central planning decisions taken by the Department, including delaying various projects, have had the biggest impact on cost growth, accounting for £237 million of the increase. Of this, £113 million relates to decisions to enhance capability. Macro-economic factors, such as adverse foreign exchange rates, accounted for £176 million of the increase. Cost overruns from project-specific technical issues accounted for £53 million. During 2010-11, there was a total increase of 30 months (with an average two months per project) in the forecast time to complete these projects and bring them into service. This brings the total delay on all 15 projects to 26.8 years. Long-term cost analysis by the NAO has shown that the difference between the approved and forecast costs of all projects which have had their main investment decision approved since 2000 is £10.6 billion (an 11.4 per cent increase). Additional costs have been avoided by reducing the amount of equipment the Department originally planned to buy. Had the Department not reduced equipment numbers, cost growth could have been between £18.2 billion and £19.4 billion (approximately 20 per cent) above the approved costs.

This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In respect of its largest defence projects there are early signs that the Ministry of Defence has begun to make realistic trade-offs between cost, time, technical requirements and the amount of equipment to be purchased. Nevertheless, the continuing variances to cost and time show the MOD needs to do consistently better. This report, which gives a progress review of the 16 largest defence projects, shows that in the last year there has been a total forecast slippage of 139 months and increase in costs of £468 million. This means that, since the projects were approved, costs have increased by £6.6 billion (around 12 per cent more than the planned cost) and the projects have been delayed by 468 months, taking almost a third longer than originally expected. It would be unrealistic to expect MOD and industry to identify every risk at the start of technically challenging projects. However, the continuing problems indicate that MOD has more to learn from historic. The MOD is accepting the capability risk and some wider costs resulting from these project delays and is having to make difficult decisions about long-term capabilities. The MOD has made a significant investment in new and upgraded helicopters to address the shortfall identified in the NAO's 2004 report. The MOD has also spent £787 million on air transport and air-to-air refuelling aircraft to support current operations and address capability gaps, such as those caused by the previously reported delays to the A400M transport aircraft. However, capability gaps remain

This book was released on 2012-02-10 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ministry of Defence (the Department) continues to struggle with managing its equipment programme on an affordable basis, resulting in the cancellation or deferral of major projects and a damaging impact on value for money. In 2010-11 the forecast costs to complete the 15 largest defence projects increased by £466 million. Since their original approvals the estimated costs of these 15 projects have increased by £6.1 billion and now stand at approximately £60 billion (an 11.4% increase). In aggregate these 15 projects are forecast to be completed 322 months later than originally planned. Projects approved since 2002 show significantly lower cost growth than those approved before this date, which is encouraging. Now the Department faces unpalatable decisions. Decisions to cancel or slow projects and to reduce equipment numbers have added significant long-term costs to the whole defence programme and to unit costs within the programme. Capability has been affected and this has all resulted in poor value for money. Large defence equipment projects have contributed disproportionately to overall cost growth. In the past, the Department has repeatedly failed to challenge unrealistically low estimates for the largest and most complex equipment projects from suppliers. The Department is still unable to set out openly the extent of the gap between income and expenditure it still faces, and how and by when any shortfall will be resolved. The report notes little progress in reducing the turnover of the Senior Responsible Owners (SROs), who oversee individual projects.

Download or read book 2011-12 Major Projects Report written by Australian National Audit Office and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fifth Major Projects Report (MPR) continues the review by the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) of selected major Defence equipment acquisition projects (Major Projects). It builds on the earlier work by the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) and the ANAO to improve the transparency of, and accountability for, the status of Major Projects for the benefit of the Parliament, the Government and other stakeholders. Acquiring and sustaining capability for the Australian Defence Force is critically important work and this report provides an update on 29 of the most significant projects being managed by the DMO. The extent of reporting on Major Projects by the DMO reflects positively on the organisation and the Ministers for Defence and Defence Materiel in their pursuit of better acquisition outcomes.

Download or read book Major projects report 2007 written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Major Projects Report 2007 covers cost, time and performance data for military equipment projects in the year ended 31 March 2007. 20 of the largest projects are examined where the main investment decision has been taken by the Ministry of Defence (the MoD), along with ten projects still in the Assessment Phase. Overall the MoD is in a similar position to 2006 for forecast cost and performance, but there continue to be time delays. The current total forecast cost for the 20 largest projects is £28 billion, which is £2.5 billion over the 'most likely' budget when the main investment decision was taken. The MoD expects ten projects to deliver within their most likely budgeted cost. Most of this cost growth occurred in earlier years but, on two projects, the Type 45 Destroyer (£354 million) and the Astute Class Submarine (£142 million), there has been significant cost growth in-year. The MoD has now agreed revised contracts on both of these projects to incentivise industry to reduce costs. The MoD was again pro-active in limiting potential in-year cost increases on individual projects through reassessing requirements, reducing quantities of equipments and re-allocating expenditure to other projects or budget lines. Five projects were delayed by a total of an extra 38 months this year. Of these, the most significant were the Type 45 Destroyer which has been delayed by a further 11 months and the Terrier and Next Generation Light Anti-Armour Weapon projects have each been delayed by a further 12 months. Detailed Summary Sheets for each of the 30 Projects are in Volume 2 (HCP 98-II, ISBN 9780102951493). There have been significant developments of interest on a project that appeared in the Major Projects Report until 2002-03, the Landing Ship Dock (Auxiliary) project, and detailed findings are given in Volume 3 (HCP 98-III, ISBN 9780102951509).

Download or read book Major Projects Report 2005 written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-11-25 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This particular publication is published alongside a second volume containing the project summary sheets (HCP 595-II ISBN 0102936439). This NAO report represents the 14th such report into the MoD's procurement of defence equipment. The report examines cost, time and performance data for projects in the year ended 31 March 2005. In total 30 defence equipment projects were examined. Part 1 of this report presents the overall performance of these projects and the progress in implementing Smart Acquisition; Part 2 examines the assessment phase in more detail. The NAO proposes a number of recommendations, among them are: that the cost-effective and timely delivery of mission critical equipments need to be fully recognized when the main investment decision is made; that the Department should clarify what is required to demonstrate the maturity of different types of project, including a clear statement of required best practice along with the consideration of risk and cost and time estimates that are appropriate to the individual projects undertaken.

Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee welcomes the progress made by the Ministry of Defence in getting to grips with its budget and military equipment costs. The affordability of the Department's 10-year plan for buying and supporting equipment is, however, dependent on it: continuing to control cost increases in existing equipment projects; delivering ambitious project cost savings over the next 10 years in order to balance its budget; and having the right skills in place to ensure that the assumptions made in its plans are robust and deliverable. Failure to improve the skills of Defence Equipment and Support (DEandS), which buys and maintains military equipment, will undermine the Department's efforts to improve control over its finances. The Department agrees that DEandS is over-reliant on expensive contractors and DEandS is spending a further £250 million on contractors over the next three and a half years to determine how it will address this and secure the skills needed to deliver the Equipment Plan within the assumed budget and to time. There remain risks to the success of the Department's Army 2020 programme designed to reduce the size of the regular Army and increase the number of trained Army reserves. The Department has not yet addressed the Committee's previous recommendations to develop credible contingency plans in the event that it cannot recruit the number of regular and reserve soldiers it requires. While the Department is reporting progress against its recruitment targets, it does acknowledge that targets beyond 2016 will be challenging and require significant improvements in performance.
