Final Report of the Process Action Team on Value Engineering Change Proposals

Abstract

The DoD Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) Process Action Team (PAT) was chartered by the Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology on September 16, 1996, in response to reductions in the VECP savings reported in the DoD VE Annual Report. The objectives of the PAT were to identify and remove the impediments to the VECP and thereby improve the incentives for contractors to identify life cycle cost savings opportunities for the Government. The PAT analyzed the VECP process, the service implementing programs and the changes in the acquisition environment that may have contributed to the lower achieved savings. Initial results and proposed solutions were discussed with a spectrum of Program Managers and Defense contractors involved in systems acquisition and supply support of fielded systems. Preferred recommendations were identified and an Action Plan was developed.
