Reengineering the Acquisition Process: A Quantitative Example of Acquisition Reform Working for the Air Force's Launch Programs System Program Office

Abstract

The objective of the Air Force's Launch Programs System Program Office (SPO) was to develop and improve the acquisition process. Realizing that the cycle time for contract proposals was an area that needed reform, the Launch Programs SPO set out to reengineer the process. By developing a contractor and government integrated product team that worked together to define a new streamlined approach for making changes to existing contracts, the Launch Programs SPO has quantitatively demonstrated an average 63 percent cycle time reduction.
