The purpose of this project is to assess the maturity of Naval Sea Systems Command's (NAVSEA) Contract Management processes. NAVSEA is headquartered in Washington, DC. The analysis of NAVSEA will be conducted using the Contract Management Maturity Model (CMMM). The primary purpose of this research is to analyze NAVSEA's contracting processes utilizing the Contract Management Maturity Assessment Tool (CMMAT), to identify key process area strengths and weaknesses, and to provide a road map for possible improvement if needed. This research reviews and categorizes the results of several Peer Reviews performed on NAVSEA by the six phases of the contract management process. This research also analyzes and categorizes openended responses to a question on critical success factors conducted on NAVSEA contracting personnel. The results will provide NAVSEA a snapshot of the maturity level of their contracting processes. This will allow NAVSEA to identify the unique challenges that it is facing and provide an assessment tool on how to effectively engage and overcome these challenges and potentially improve the organization's contracting process.
This study assesses contracting process capabilities at Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in Patuxent River, Maryland, using the Contract Management Maturity Model (CMMM). The primary purpose of this study is to analyze NAVAIR's contracting processes to identify key process area strengths and weaknesses and to provide a roadmap for improvement. This study also focuses on assessing organizational culture at the NAVAIR Contracting Directorate. Several studies have shown that organizational factors, such as organizational culture, are strong determinants of performance. Other studies have shown that when an organization is dominated by a culture type, the most effective leaders are those that demonstrate a matching leadership style. This study uses the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) to identify the organization's current and preferred culture type as viewed by the leadership at the organization. The results will provide the NAVAIR leaders an awareness of culture type so they can match their leadership style to the assessed culture for optimum performance.
This thesis investigates the extent to which the Process Oriented Contract Administration Services (PROCAS) Program at FMC's Ground Systems Division, in San Jose, California, is reducing Government oversight and increasing Government/contractor communications. This study describes how PROCAS developed in the Defense Contract Management Command, how it was integrated into FMC's Ground Systems Division and reviews the essential elements of the program. It also discusses the effects of the program on Ground Systems Division and the cognizant Defense Plant Representative Office and the program's ideal strategy. The research demonstrates that critical process improvements at Ground Systems Division were attained through the overwhelming commitment of the Ground Systems Division and the Defense Plant Representative Office. This commitment created an environment of open communication and cooperation which enabled Ground Systems Division and the Defense Plant Representative Office to shift their focus from the traditional approach of detection and correction to one of prevention and continuous improvement. The study concludes that the PROCAS Program is an effective method for improving quality and reducing costs and recommends continued support from the defense industry and the Defense Contract Management Command.
Planning, measuring, and paying attention to details form the basis for all successful engineering operations. Measurements pervade everything we do and must be viewed from a systems perspective. A comprehensive all-encompassing guide to measurements, Handbook of Measurements: Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision focuses on high-level engineering computations essential for benchmarks and technical innovation. The book uses a systems framework and a technically rigorous approach to systems linking of measurements—an approach that sets it apart from other handbooks. The popular saying "measure twice and cut once" bears out the importance of measurements in human endeavors. This handbook covers both qualitative and quantitative topics of measurement. It opens with a chapter on the fundamentals of measurement and includes coverage of human-centric measurements, such as measurement of personnel productivity and contractor performance. It concludes with three appendices on measurement, references, conversion factors, equations, formulas, and statistics for measurement. It is well understood that humans cannot manage anything that cannot be measured. All elements involved in our day-to-day decision making involve some form of measurement, whether in the kitchen, retail, sports, service operations, geographical exploration, health care delivery, worker productivity, clothing design, engineering product design, or space craft launching. Measuring an attribute of a system and then analyzing it against some standard, some specification, some best practice, or some benchmark empower a decision maker to take appropriate and timely actions. This book gives you a guide for sustainable practices to ensure accurate measurements, helping you make decisions backed by metrics.
This report addresses the Naval Sea Systems Command contract audit followup process for ensuring the proper, timely resolution and disposition of contract audit reports. Resolution is achieved when the contracting officer agrees with the auditor on the actions to be taken on audit report findings or determines another course of action. Disposition of a contract audit report occurs when the contractor implements the audit recommendations or the contracting officer's decision, a settlement is reached, or the contracting officer issues a final decision under the Disputes Clause and 90 days elapse without contractor appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. This report discusses the Naval Sea Systems Command's monitoring and dispositioning of audit findings, collecting penalties, and submitting the status of all Naval Sea Systems Command contract audit reports semiannually to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense. The Naval Sea Systems Command's semiannual reports for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2002, included 201 audit reports with total costs questioned of 5864 million. Costs questioned are costs that are not allowable, allocable, or reasonable according to the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
This study assesses the process capabilities and competencies of Naval Facilities Engineering Command's (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic. The assessment uses a cross-sectional questionnaire covering contracting processes and selected ethical context. The purpose of this study is to analyze NAVFAC's contracting processes, establish a baseline for contract management maturity and ethical context, and recommend target areas for improvement efforts by application of the Contract Management Maturity Model (CMMM) and the associated Contract Management Maturity Assessment Tool (CMMAT) to NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic's Facilities Engineering and Acquisition Department. An ethics questionnaire is administered to examine NAVFAC's ethical context.
The purpose of this project is to assess the contracting processes capabilities at Commander, Fleet, and Industrial Supply Centers (COMFISCS), which includes all seven Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) locations. These locations are Jacksonville, FL; Norfolk, VA; Pearl Harbor, HI; Puget Sound, WA; San Diego, CA; Sigonella, Italy; and Yokosuka, Japan. This analysis was conducted using the Contract Management Maturity Model (CMMM). The primary purpose of this study is to analyze FISC's contracting processes to identify key process-area strengths and weaknesses and to provide a road map for possible improvement if needed. This study also focuses on the specific metrics currently used by COMFISCS to measure the performance of its contracting management processes. The results will provide COMFISCS and the individual FISC Commanders a snapshot of the maturity level of their contracting processes both individually and as a whole. This will allow COMFISCS to identify the unique challenges that each individual FISC is facing and provide an assessment tool on how to effectively engage and overcome these challenges and potentially improve the organization's contracting process.
