This document discusses establishing a supplier development program to reduce supplier risk. It outlines a three-phase approach including strategic, tactical, and execution phases. The strategic phase involves high-level metrics like total cost and quality measures rolled up by geography. The tactical phase defines improvement strategies for specific suppliers. The execution phase focuses on daily interactions and data collection. An enterprise data platform is recommended to provide real-time supplier data across all phases for timely decision making. This comprehensive approach helps improve supplier performance and reduce risk throughout the supply chain.

The document provides examples of how to calculate earned value by linking it to completion of drawings and meeting technical performance targets for weight and diameter. It recommends acquisition best practices like requiring technical performance measurement in proposals and verifying integration at contract award and reviews.
An effective business process management system is needed for delivering citizen-centric services across governments. Several e-governance initiatives have been implemented at different levels to create a citizen-centric environment, but the processes need to be monitored, controlled, and changed quickly to deliver new and improved services. Business process management focuses on aligning an organization's processes with client needs and aims to continuously improve processes through tools that allow users to strategize functions, define baseline processes, simulate changes, analyze simulations, and select improvements. For governments, this can mean saving money and improving citizen services by making interactions within and across agencies more efficient.

The GAO report assessed the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) use of earned value management (EVM) techniques to manage the development of the Electronic Records Archive (ERA) system. The ERA system is intended to preserve and provide access to massive amounts of electronic records from federal agencies. However, the ERA program has faced repeated schedule delays and cost increases. The GAO found that NARA has only partially implemented many EVM best practices. As a result, ERA's earned value data does not accurately reflect the program's status and NARA is unable to effectively oversee the contractor or forecast remaining costs. The GAO estimated future cost overruns could be between $195 million to

Zella Determining the Right Framework to Improve New Technology Venture Proce...the nciia
Continuous process improvement (CPI) has improved product and business performance in many industries and business sectors. However, it has not been widely adopted in the new technology venture (NTV) sector. The resistance to CPI adoption has been attributed to the perception of insufficient payoff and protracted timelines. In addition, there has been a tendency toward heroic management of chaotic ad hoc processes in a rapid response environment with an overarching first-to-market imperative. Western Michigan University is developing a study to determine if CPI would improve product and business performance in this sector. This paper describes how and why new technology ventures may benefit from CPI initiatives that arose from the aerospace industry. If this study confirms the applicability and benefit in the NTV sector, findings could equip practitioners with a proven framework, CMMI®, to aid in systematically increasing the successful launch rates of new technology ventures.

In this thought provoking paper we talk about how in the last few years since the Great Recession, organizations have attempted to
Optimize supply chain operations and position themselves for growth over the next 3-5 years. This includes tapping “low-hanging fruit”
in the optimization journey, largely in the indirect sourcing transactional services such as logistics.
Procuring “direct” material, however, seems to be a relatively untapped opportunity for organizations to continue optimizing
their supply chains. Inevitably, companies can benefit significantly more by opting for an end-to-end framework
rather than through incremental improvements to direct spend management processes.
