Regionalization, Outsourcing and Consolidation: An Analysis of Navy Tug Operations Within Navy Region Southeast
Abstract
This paper covers both the background of outsourcing and a Business Case Analysis (BCA) conducted within the Fleet Concentration Area (FCA) of Mayport, FL, Kings Bay, GA, and Port Canaveral, FL for Commander, Navy Region Southeast. The analysis describes and evaluates the impact on the fleet mission with regard to outsourcing, consolidation and reorganization of tug service functions. Privatization, outsourcing, consolidation and reorganization of tug service functions described in this report evaluated cost avoidance over the next two years. The research was conducted via a series of functional studies, Business Case Analysis (BCA) team meetings, Process Action Teams (PAT) and the cooperation of various departments within Navy Region Southeast. The results were a series of consolidation of resources, redefinition of present contracts, the elimination of several present and future contracts, and a major military billet-base reduction. The total cost avoidance by activating these initiatives was over $3.4 million dollars. This initiative was a clear winner in the financial category. However, it may present future devastating effects on sea-shore rotation and fleet morale due to the loss of military billets to outsourcing.
