Book excerpt: DoD plans to increase its procurement investment to about $60 bill. by FY 2001. DoD has high expectations from this invest.: that new weapons will be better and less expensive than their predecessors and will be developed in half the time. Essential to these outcomes will be the adaptation of best practices (BP) that have enabled leading commercial firms to develop new products faster, cheaper, and better. This report addresses (1) the contribution DoD training makes to program offices' ability to apply BP , (2) the different methods used by DoD and commercial firms in training on BP, and (3) the strategic approaches that underlie DoD's training methods for BP.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Department of Defense's (DOD) annual weapon system investment has been increased from about $90 billion 3 years ago to almost $100 billion for fiscal year 2001, DOD's buying power will be weakened if weapons continue to cost significantly more and take much longer to develop than planned. DOD would like to get the most out of this investment and has set goals to develop new weapons in half the traditional time and within budget. It has a long way to go; long-standing problems that work against delivering new weapons within estimates have proven resistant to reform. When one program encounters such problems and needs more money than planned, it comes at the expense of delaying or canceling other program. This means less overall modernization and a lower, unpredictable return on investment. The ability to execute a program more predictably within cost and schedule estimates would lessen the need to offset cost increases by disrupting other programs.

Book excerpt: Since 1990, the DoD mgmt. of major weapon system acquisitions has been designated a high-risk area. DoD has taken some action to improve acquisition outcomes, but its weapons programs continue to take longer, cost more, and deliver fewer capabilities than originally planned. Over the next 5 years, DoD plans to invest about $900 billion to develop and procure weapons systems -- the highest level of investment in two decades. This testimony describes DoD¿s current weapons system investment portfolio, the problems that contribute to cost and schedule increases, and the potential impacts of recent legislative initiatives and DoD actions aimed at improving outcomes.
