Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decreases in the manufacturing productivity growth rate, rising weapon systems costs, and the decline of the defense industrial base are major interrelated problems currently facing the Department of Defense (DOD). The Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP) is a DOD capital investment incentive plan designed to help alleviate these problems. The objective of this research is to trace the historical elements of the IMIP, provide an analysis of the IMIP and the actions that have been taken to implement it, and to advance recommendations regarding the IMIP for consideration during the Program test period.

Book Implementing the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program

Download or read book Implementing the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program written by Geneese Gottschalk and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defense contractors have often been reluctant to make significant investments in modern, more efficient equipment that could lower costs for weapons systems. This reluctance is due to the risk of premature program termination and a pricing policy which can make investment financially unattractive. This report reviews DoD's test of the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP), a DoD-wide effort to provide incentives to invest in modern capital equipment by allowing contractors to retain a share of productivity-induced cost savings. Conclusions are drawn with respect to IMIP's objectives and applicability, the need to carefully project financial effects of IMIP agreements, and IMIP's relationship to other acquisition issues.

Book The Industrial Modernization Incentives Program An Experimental Effort to Improve Defense Contractor Productivity

Download or read book The Industrial Modernization Incentives Program An Experimental Effort to Improve Defense Contractor Productivity written by A. D. Reeves and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper concentrates on the philosophy and concepts behind the current test of Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP). The paper discusses how the test has been structured and applications to date. The test program is still in the early stages and the paper stresses that there are currently many more questions than answers. The aspects requiring further analysis are explored in detail. The paper also ties together other areas that relate to the IMIP and encompass the total environment motivating contractor productivity improvement efforts. These include Weighted Guidelines, Cost Accounting Standards, employee productivity incentive and bonus systems, multiyear procurement, economic production rates, the source selection process, and manufacturing technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the Navy's need to advance the U.S. industrial modernization and technology base, this document was developed to accentuate the Naval Ocean Systems Center (NOSC) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) and Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP). Goals of the NOSC ManTech and IMIP programs are to develop new and improved processes, methods, techniques, and equipments to enhance our industrial-base capability, ensure quality and affordability of command, control, communications and ocean surveillance systems, enable the transition of Research and Development (R and D) from development to production, and expedite the implementation of advanced methods and technologies in defense production facilities. The Manufacturing and Computer Engineering Technology Branch personnel directly contributed to the concept and development of this report.

Book An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program IMIP

Download or read book An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program IMIP written by David E. Spenny and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP) is the first significant DOD attempt to provide a catalyst for defense contractors to modernize the defense industrial base. IMIP evolved from the Air Force's Technology Modernization (TECHNMOD) program that was designed to reduce weapon systems cost and strengthen the industrial base. While IMIP is maturing since its 1982 beginnings, standardized criteria for evaluating its effectiveness have been lacking. This second stage of research is built upon the study completed by Cooper and Houck, measuring the effectiveness of the industrial modernization incentives program. They identified nine criteria that were validated as useful tools in evaluating the effectiveness of IMIP. During the second stage, these criteria were applied to selected IMIP projects to see if IMIP reduces weapons systems cost and modernizes the U.S. defense industrial base. The nine criteria were rephrased into nine investigative questions. Results of the research indicate that two of the nine should always be used on a selected basis depending on the project being evaluated.

Book Measuring the Effectiveness of the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program IMIP

Download or read book Measuring the Effectiveness of the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program IMIP written by Stephen R. Cooper and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP), cited by Secretary of Defense Weinberger as the number one DOD initiative upon which the future of a strong industrial base largely rests, will soon be evaluated to determine its ability to restore positive productivity growth rates and improved surge/mobilization capabilities within the U.S. defense industrial base. The ultimate validity of this review has been questioned, however, due to a lack of standard measurement criteria. As the first stage of a two-stage effort to test the hypothesis that the IMIP will revitalize the U.S. defense industrial base, government and industry IMIP managers were interviewed to identify valid measures of effectiveness. Nine criteria were recommended as valid, quantifiable measures of IMIP effectiveness upon which accurate measurement of IMIP project benefits should be completed during follow-on Stage II research.

Book The Ailing U S Defense Industrial Base

Download or read book The Ailing U S Defense Industrial Base written by David S. Glowacki and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the IMIP and its predecessor TECHMOD have been in existence since the late 1970's a comprehensive evaluation methodology has not yet been developed. There have been several efforts to develop a comprehensive approach; however, they have all fallen short in constructing a satisfactory evaluation method. The major problem is there are several subjective criteria that must be evaluated to determine the success of a program. This subjectivity has made it difficult to provide a comprehensive assessment of an IMIP project. This difficulty has lead to constant debate over the success of the IMIP. This research, however, is designed to quell this on-going debate. The goal of this research is to explore the perceptions of the 'experts in the field' to determine the effectiveness of the IMIP and possible improvements to this program. Through a series of interviews with selected 'experts', a comprehensive picture of the status of this program will be drawn. Results of the survey revealed that the IMIP is a necessary program that is improving the industrial base. However, the program is of limited effectiveness due to the restricted scope of the current effort. Findings also indicate that the program should be centralized and procedures standardized in order to provide for the efficient and effective allocation of the scarce manpower and financial resources.
