Evaluation Report on the DoD Block Change Modifications.
Abstract
The purpose of the single process initiative is to enable contractors to propose single or common processes that will meet the needs and requirements of multiple military and commercial customers. The initiative was conceived by the Government Industry Quality Liaison Panel and endorsed by the Secretary of Defense on December 6, 1993. The Secretary directed "that block changes to the management and manufacturing requirements of existing contracts be made on a facility-wide basis, to the management and manufacturing requirements within a facility, wherever such changes are technically acceptable to the Government." Use of single or common processes is intended to help reduce contractor operating costs and contribute to cost, schedule, and performance benefits for the Government. The Secretary designated the administrative contracting officer as the single point of contact for this effort. The Defense Contract Management Command, Defense Logistics Agency, is facilitating the initiative at contractor facilities by working with contractor officials in identifying potential single processes. We performed this evaluation in conjunction with our participation on the DoD Single Process Management Team. The Commander, Defense Contract Management Command, requested our participation on the Management Team on December 11, 1993. He established the Management Team to facilitate the initiative within the Department.
