Defense Infrastructure: Challenges Facing DOD in Implementing Reform Initiatives by Anonim Pdf

The Secretary's November 10, 1997, DRI was DOD'S latest effort to reform operations and processes. The report was an outgrowth of recommendations made in the Report of the Quadrennial Defense Review. The Quadrennial Defense Review report noted that, while DOD had reduced active duty personnel by 32 percent between 1989 and 1997, it had reduced the number of people performing infrastructure functions by only 28 percent. That report called for significant additional reductions in military and civilian personnel. Reductions called for by the Quadrennial Defense Review and others already planned by DOD would reduce military and DOD civilian personnel end strength levels by an additional 59,000 and 130,000 positions, respectively, below their fiscal year 1998 levels.

Defense Reform Initiative by Barry W. Holman Pdf

The Dept. of Defense (DoD) has been working to reduce its infrastructure and support costs. In Nov. 1997, the Sec. of Defense issued his Defense Reform Initiative (DRI) Report outlining a plan for reforming DoD's business affairs. To implement the report's initiatives, the Sec. established a Defense Management Council and chartered it with responsibility for overseeing the effort and serving as his internal board of directors for management. This report discusses (1) actions taken through the DRI management structure to facilitate achieving the program's objectives, and (2) progress made in implementing individual reform initiatives.

Defense Management Challenges Facing DOD in Implementing Defense Reform Initiatives by Anonim Pdf

I am pleased to be here today to present our observations, based on past and ongoing work, on the Department of Defense's (DOD) latest reform initiatives. These initiatives are described in the Defense Reform Initiative (DRI) Report, which was issued by DOD in November 1997. DOD is attempting to bring about a revolution in its business and support operations by identifying and adopting the best business practices from the private sector. Specifically, it is proposing to: reengineer many of its business processes; consolidate and reorganize DOD'S headquarters elements and defense agencies, including the Office of the Secretary of Defense; increase the use of the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) A-76 process to compete DOD'S commercial activities; and conduct two additional rounds of base realignment and closures (BRAC). These actions are intended to reduce the cost of DOD'S business and support activities so that operations and maintenance funds can be freed up to support weapons modernization and readiness needs. In announcing this hearing, you expressed concern about DOD'S record of executing programs designed to achieve infrastructure savings and the potential impact on readiness accounts if current reform initiatives falter in execution. In that context, my comments today will focus on the (1) risks associated with reducing budgets before savings are achieved, (2) challenges associated with implementing DOD'S various business process reengineering initiatives, (3) opportunities to capitalize on consolidation and regionalization opportunities, and (4) underlying management problems that need to be addressed in implementing the reform initiatives. Before discussing my specific observations, I would like to briefly summarize my key points.

Defense Outsourcing: Challenges Facing DoD as It Attempts to Save Billions in Infrastructure Costs by Anonim Pdf

DOD defines infrastructure as activities that generally operate from fixed locations to support missions like those carried out by combat forces. Infrastructure includes installation support; central training; central medical; central logistics; force management; acquisition; infrastructure; central personnel; and central command, control, and communications. DOD recognizes that its support structure is inefficient and that its costs continue to absorb a large share of the defense budget and diverts funding that could be used for modernization. DOD has implemented various reform initiatives in the past to achieve efficiencies and reduce costs. The Defense Management Review (DMR), base realignment and closure (BRAC) process, National Performance Review, the bottom-up review, and other efforts proposed various actions intended to achieve these objectives. More recently, the Commission on Roles and Missions (CORM) and the Defense Science Board (DSB) have identified similar problems with DOD'S support structure and processes, but have made outsourcing and privatization the centerpiece of their reforms to reduce infrastructure and support costs. DOD defines outsourcing as the transfer of functions performed inhouse to outside providers and privatization as the transfer or sale of government assets to the private sector.
