Managing Design Performance

Abstract

In 1991, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) established target rates for its planning and design services to provide a gauge for district performance. For the most part, districts have found those targets difficult to meet, partly because they were based upon performance factors derived from 1987- 1990 data collected during a time of robust construction activity and partly because additional design requirements have been imposed and are expected to be completed within historic funding levels. Had the target rates been met by all districts in FY92, planning and design in the USACE would have cost $33 million less
