Acquisition Program Lead Systems Integration/Lead Capabilities Integration Decision Support Methodology and Tool

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this qualitative research study was twofold. First was to provide PMs with a simulation tool to assist Program Offices in evaluating the relative merits and risks of utilizing NAWCAD and commercial OEMs for various LSI/LCI roles and responsibilities. Second, to understand where the Government (NAWCAD) lacks competitiveness on the capability to perform LSI (identify the gaps). Problem Addressed: Comparisons for sourcing are complex and require extensive decision support analysis to understand the solution space and foresight between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Government entities performing the Lead System Integrator (LSI) role. Significance of the Study: This research study will help Program Offices understand their most effective cost, schedule and performance-based solutions when faced with an acquisition requirement.
