Downsizing the Navy: Privatization of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Indianapolis

Abstract

Case Objectives: Strategic: When faced with a future facility decision (from a base closure to simply a desire to enhance productivity and efficiency) (1) identify and analyze the stakeholders; (2) develop top-level objectives and guidance, with an overarching process framework; and, (3) develop and evaluate alternative courses of action, completing customer satisfaction, business case, risk, and human resource analyses. " Tactical: Once an alternative is selected (in this case, privatization), develop a detailed implementation plan to address (1) transition issues; (2) economic development and agreement terms and conditions from City and business perspectives; (3) contract terms and conditions from the business and Navy perspectives; and (4) employee considerations. " Lesson Learned/Reflections: Identify potential risks and mitigations, barriers to effective and efficient implementation, success factors, and best practices; and make recommendations for future privatizations.
