This book was released on 2019 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) depends on its fleet of more than 1,600 boats to conduct its most critical operations, which span all 11 of the USCG's statutory missions. These boats must be replaced frequently, given the harsh environments and challenging operations in which they are used. To keep up with this demand in a cost-effective way, the USCG has determined that it needs an enduring Program Management Office to manage boats acquisition efforts. The RAND Corporation's Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC) was asked to conduct a 90-day study to identify best practices and lessons learned for improving boats acquisition by reviewing the current boats acquisition program and similar programs inside and outside the USCG and make recommendations for the structure, funding strategy, and processes of a future enduring boats acquisition program. We review the current boats acquisition program and similar organizations inside and outside the USCG, assess possible funding and structural strategies, and make recommendations on these topics for USCG leadership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis proposes an actionable implementation plan for the Coast Guard to manage their small boat fleet acquisition. It features a contract process to extend boat service life and reduce acquisition and operating costs. Today, the increased pace of fielding of new technologies necessitates rapid generational shifts to keep ahead of component equipment obsolescence. The Coast Guard has not been able to keep up with these requirements, and by 2024, 40% of boat classes will be required to operate well beyond their planned service lives. This thesis used Flexibility in Engineering Design (FED) to analyze ways to implement the Coast Guard's ten-year strategic plan to improve fleet efficiency and performance. FED shows great promise for improving portfolio management for vehicles, aircraft, ships, and facilities. In essence, FED recognizes the role of uncertainty in current fleet challenges and accepts that uncertainty cannot be avoided. FED addresses uncertainty proactively by building in options as insurance against risks. The analysis was based on insights provided by many subject matter experts and extensive archival research into the complex institutional environment and performance of the Coast Guard boat acquisition system. A Pareto Analysis was used to explore over 400 concepts of likely fleet design features. The results indicated that planned boat service life was the design attribute that most significantly impacts system performance in terms of cost, mission execution, and risk. Based on this result, the FED analysis was focused on flexible strategies to extend service life. Two categories of flexibility were studied: flexibility on acquisition programs through contract options to purchase data/build rights; and flexibility in project through incorporating flexible design attributes into future boat classes. The FED analysis recommends a plan that could save $33 million over 30 years per class acquisition. The plan calls for including a contract option to future boat acquisitions which allows the Coast Guard the right but not the obligation to buy full data rights up to five years after delivery of the first hull of a new class of boats. The ability to rapidly ramp up production to replace hulls as needed allows the Coast Guard to plan for service life elongation. Even if never used, buying the right to build the current generation is akin to buying an insurance policy. It allows the Coast Guard to relax the conservative 10-year service life policy and adopt a longer service life that more closely aligns with experts' expectation of the service lives boats can achieve. The thesis proposes an implementation plan to achieve the recommended results of the FED analysis. This plan is tailored to iteratively phase flexibility options into targeted classes and projected to enable the reduction of boat obsolescence, operational churn loss, and long-term program cost at a minimal upfront cost.

Download or read book Complex Contracting written by Trevor L. Brown and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex Contracting draws on core social science concepts to provide wide-ranging practical advice on how best to manage complex acquisitions. Using a strong analytical framework, the authors assess contract management practices, suggesting strategies for improvement and ways to avoid the pitfalls of managing contracts for large and sophisticated projects. An in-depth analysis of the US Coast Guard's Deepwater program is included to illustrate ways to respond to real-world contracting challenges. This high-profile and controversial case consisted of a projected 25-year, $24 billion contract through which the US Coast Guard would buy a system of new boats, aircraft, communications, and control architecture to replace its aging fleet. The authors explore the reasons why this program, launched with such promise, turned out so poorly, and apply the lessons learned to similarly complex contracting scenarios. This engaging and accessible book has broad applicability and will appeal to policymakers, practitioners, scholars and students.
