Acquisition: Status of the Defense Acquisition Improvement Program's 33 Initiatives

Abstract

Our analysis of various DOD reports and discussions of individual initiatives with key DOD officials indicated that 23 of the initiatives had not been fully implemented. We considered an initiative to be fully implemented when action plans had been carried out and mechanism for monitoring results established. Tables 1 and 2 summarize our analysis of each initiative and our detailed comments about them are in appendix I. Table 1 lists the 10 initiatives which have been fully implemented. The expected benefits have been fully achieved on four initiatives and partially achieved on the remaining six. Table 2 lists the remaining 23 partially implemented initiatives which have not fully achieved the anticipated results. We do not discuss initiatives 1 and 23 separately because they address certain management principles and program implementation which are embodied in our discussion of the remaining initiatives.
