Measuring the Effectiveness of the Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP).

Abstract

The Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP), cited by Secretary of Defense Weinberger as the number one DOD initiative upon which the future of a strong industrial base largely rests, will soon be evaluated to determine its ability to restore positive productivity growth rates and improved surge/mobilization capabilities within the U.S. defense industrial base. The ultimate validity of this review has been questioned, however, due to a lack of standard measurement criteria. As the first stage of a two-stage effort to test the hypothesis that the IMIP will revitalize the U.S. defense industrial base, government and industry IMIP managers were interviewed to identify valid measures of effectiveness. Nine criteria were recommended as valid, quantifiable measures of IMIP effectiveness upon which accurate measurement of IMIP project benefits should be completed during follow-on Stage II research.
