Since it was created in 2003, the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has obligated billions of dollars annually to meet its expansive homeland security mission. The dept¿s. acquisitions support complex and critical trade, transportation, border security, and information tech. investments. In FY 2007, DHS spent over $12 billion on procurements to meet this mission including spending for complex services and major investments. DHS has made some initial progress in developing its acquisition function since 2003, esp. acquisition planning and oversight for procurement and major acquisitions need improvement. This testimony discusses findings in these areas and is based on a body of work on acquisition mgmt. issues. Includes recommend.
Department of Defense Implementation of Acquisition Reform Initiatives

Book Description
The focus of this research was to evaluate the Department of Defense's (DoD) effectiveness of implementing acquisition reform through workforce training. The research examined several acquisition reform initiatives proposed since 1990 and DoD's primary sources of acquisition workforce training. a survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of training sources as perceived by acquisition workforce members. The data gathered from the sample of 411 responses indicated survey respondents were only 'somewhat' satisfied with the training received in support of acquisition reform. The Defense Acquisition University (DAU) resident courses, Government funded training and in-house acquisition reform advocates were rated as 'most effective' sources of training. These three sources provided training perceived as adequate to functionally implement reform initiatives and targeted to members' work responsibilities. In contrast, training provided by DoD's Acquisition Reform Week, DAU web-based courses and non-government sources were perceived 'least effective' sources of acquisition reform. research results suggest DoD increase its focus on recently implemented Continuous Learning Policy, strengthen and support the role of in- house acquisition reform advocates, and increase the quality of web-based instruction.

Modeling and Simulation in Manufacturing and Defense Acquisition

Book Description
The Committee on Modeling and Simulation Enhancements for 21st Century Manufacturing and Acquisition was formed by the NRC in response to a request from the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) of DOD. The committee was asked to (1) investigate next-generation evolutionary and revolutionary M&S capabilities that will support enhanced defense systems acquisition; (2) identify specific emerging design, testing, and manufacturing process technologies that can be enabled by advanced M&S capabilities; (3) relate these emerging technologies to long-term DOD requirements; (4) assess ongoing efforts to develop advanced M&S capabilities and identify gaps that must be filled to make the emerging technologies a reality; (5) identify lessons learned from industry; and (6) recommend specific government actions to expedite development and to enable maximum DOD and U.S. commercial benefit from these capabilities. To complete its task, the committee identified relevant trends and their impact on defense acquisition needs; current use and support for use of M&S within DOD; lessons learned from commercial manufacturing; three cross-cutting and especially challenging uses of M&S technologies; and the areas in which basic research is needed in M&S in order to achieve the desired goals for manufacturing and defense acquisition.
