The Executive Workshop on Cost/Performance Measurement. Volume 1: Executive Summary

Abstract

On 31 May through 1 June 1989, an executive workshop was held in Alexandria, Virginia, to address problems perceived when applying current cost/ performance measurement and management systems to new advanced-technology design and manufacturing methods. The goal was to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with recommendations for change. This paper is the proceedings of the workshop. Volume 1 contains a summary of findings and recommendations of the attendees. The primary recommendation was that the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition) initiate pilot programs to investigate possible changes in cost/ performance measurement systems. Continued dialog and cooperation between DoD and industry is also recommended. Volume 2 contains the remarks of the speakers, the panel members, and the discussion team representatives.
