An Assessment of Source Selection Cost Panel Members' Preparedness.
Abstract
This investigation examined the preparedness of source selection cost panel members. Background and opinion data were gathered from cost panel members and other source selection personnel in order to assess the preparedness of source selection participants. The three major areas examined were source selection training, participants' preparedness, and problems encountered during source selection. The analysis was accomplished by sending a survey instrument to source selection personnel in six Air Force Systems Command product divisions. The results show that over eighty four percent of the cost panel members had never received any formal source selection training. Although the majority of the cost panel members felt prepared for their source selection responsibilities, over sixty percent felt additional cost analysis and source selection training would be beneficial. Finally, the results showed that there was no significant difference between the cost panel members' survey responses and those of the other source selection participants.
