Best Practices: Better Support of Weapon System Program Managers Needed to Improve Outcomes by PDF Summary

Book Description: The Department of Defense (DOD) plans to increase its investment in the research, development, and procurement of new weapon systems from $144 billion in fiscal year 2005 to $185 billion in fiscal year 2009. U.S. weapons are among the best in the world, but the programs to acquire them often take significantly longer and cost more money than promised and often deliver fewer quantities and other capabilities than planned. It is not unusual for estimates of time and money to be off by 20 to 50 percent. When costs and schedules increase, quantities are cut, and the value for the warfighter-as well as the value of the investment dollar-is reduced. In view of the importance of DOD's investment in weapon systems, we have undertaken an extensive body of work that examines DOD's acquisition issues from a different, more cross-cutting perspective-one that draws lessons learned from the best commercial product development efforts to see if they apply to weapon system acquisitions. In response to a request from the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support, Senate Committee on Armed Services, this report assesses (1) how successful commercial companies position their program managers, (2) how DOD positions its program managers, and (3) underlying reasons for the differences.
