8 Our Acquisition Challenges 8 FileName.pptx
9 Current Environment Reducing significant CENTCOM presence but still battling on many fronts Diversification of operations Globally responsive and regionally engaged Prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, WIN DECISIVELY Now is the time to innovate Long term outlook: where do we want to take the Army? Some Examples Modularity, Open Systems Architectures, Interoperability Layered Survivability Advanced Materials, Manufacturing Long Range, Precision Effects Reduced Logistical Burden Focus On Lifecycle Affordability Nice to innovate, but we are now on a downward budget cycle slope 9 FileName.pptx
10 and there s more pain to follow Source: CSBA Report Chaos and Uncertainty: The FY 14 Defense Budget and Beyond, October 24, FileName.pptx
11 Contract Cost Growth Drivers Source: Performance of the Defense Acquisition System Annual Report, 28 June FileName.pptx
12 Underlying Cost Growth Root Causes Less Influences Immature Technology Unrealistic Performance Expectations Unanticipated Design, Engineering, Manufacturing or Technology Issues More Influences Poor Management Performance Systems Engineering Contractual Incentives Risk Management Situational Awareness Stakeholder Inputs Changes in Procurement Quantities Baseline Cost and Schedule Estimates Framing Assumptions Source: Performance of the Defense Acquisition System Annual Report, 28 June FileName.pptx
13 What Are Framing Assumptions? Unrealistic estimates are generally caused by the invalidity of major assumptions NOT methodological errors. Nose Orbiter Processing Facility Concept (1974) Actual Orbiter Processing Facility The cost estimating community can and should challenge assumptions but the acquisition community formulates them. Consideration of this has led to framing assumptions 13 FileName.pptx
14 Framing Assumption F-35 Example Framing Assumptions Design is mature (Prototype design is close to Production-Ready) Consequences Production and development can be concurrent! Estimating Assumptions Schedule will be more compact than historical experience! Original Program Cost and Schedule Estimates Responsible Communities: Requirements, Technical, & Program Management Cost Estimators F-35 Reality: immature technologies, unproven innovations 14 FileName.pptx
15 Moving Forward 15 FileName.pptx
16 Manage Life Cycle Costs Big Dial Examples Conduct proper Framing Assumptions Sustain Collaboration & Communication (Government / Industry 1 Team) Apply rigorous Systems Engineering Practices System Trades including Affordability Caps Disciplined Requirements Management ( Just Say NO ) Requirements Flow Set Executable and Resourced Baselines Event based Risk Reduction, Technology Maturation Conduct Incremental Efforts More Rapidly (ECP s over New Starts ) Shape Acquisition Strategies and Plans to meet our needs PM s have more influence to tailor than they realize Statutory = Constraint Regulation is sometimes actual Maneuver Space Be Data Driven, Measure Progress Objectively not subjectively Identify and Act Upon Key Cost Drivers (aka Should Cost ) 16 FileName.pptx
17 Better Buying Power Version 2.0 We are in this together Affordable Program Requirements and Strategies Control Costs Incentivize Productivity and Innovation Eliminate Unproductive Processes Tradecraft in Acquisition Of Services Promote Competition Professionalism Of the Acquisition Workforce How Are We Doing? - Adding Value? - Making a Difference? - Impact To Industry? - Forums to better promote exchange? 17 FileName.pptx
