Fact Sheet: Business Enterprise Priorities
THE SIX BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PRIORITIES detailed in the Enterprise
Transition Plan (ETP) and Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA)
reflect significant progress toward defense business transformation.
COMPONENTS enable the Department’s business transformation
effort by supporting the enterprise priorities, while also implementing
their Component-specific priorities.

The
Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) Core Business Missions
(CBMs) provide the organizing framework that will drive business
transformation. The CBMs include Human Resources Management, Weapon
System Lifecycle Management, Materiel Supply and Service Management,
Real Property and Installations Lifecycle Management, and Financial
Management. These CBMs integrate horizontally across all functional
silos (e.g., planning, budgeting, Information Technology (IT),
procurement, etc.) to provide end-to-end support for core business
processes. Within the CBMs, six strategically targeted Business
Enterprise Priorities (BEPs) have been established to achieve rapid
results.
Business Enterprise Priorities
Integrated defense business transformation, detailed in the Enterprise
Transition Plan (ETP), is organized around six DoD-wide BEPs. These
priorities cover a broad range of the Department’s personnel,
logistics, real property, acquisition, purchasing and financial requirements.
Personnel Visibility (PV)
PV is focused on providing access to reliable, timely and accurate
personnel information for warfighter mission planning.
Benefits: Accurate and timely access to compensation, decreased operational
costs, reduced cycle times, and enabled management of DoD human resources
in a combined (military, civilian and contract support) environment.
Acquisition Visibility (AV)
AV is focused on providing transparency and access to acquisition
information that is critical to supporting life-cycle management
of the Department’s acquisition of weapon systems and automated
information systems.
Benefits: Cost savings in consumables, manpower and support infrastructure.
AV will enhance enterprise acquisition visibility to programs and
status, provide the ability to share information that is accurate,
relevant, and consistent, and reduce acquisition and management oversight
workloads at all levels.
Common Supplier Engagement (CSE)
CSE is focused on aligning and integrating policies, processes, data,
technology and people to simplify and standardize the methods that
DoD uses to interact with commercial and government suppliers.
Benefits: Reliable and accurate delivery of acceptable goods and
services to the warfighter, reduced backlogs, and the elimination
of redundant program-specific reporting systems. CSE seeks to improve
supplier relationships through consistent data and processes between
DoD and its commercial and government suppliers; increase ability
to meet socioeconomic goals through increased visibility of supplier
activities; increase operational efficiencies in contingency and
garrison operations through standardized data, processes, and systems.
Materiel Visibility (MV)
MV is focused on improving supply chain performance.
Benefits: Timely and accurate information on the location, movement,
status, and identity of materiel and supplies for the warfighter.
MV seeks to provide item visibility regardless of weapon systems
platform or owner, achieve lower life-cycle cost of item management,
increase warfighter/customer confidence in the reliability of the
DoD supply chain, improve access to historical data for use during
systems design throughout the lifecycle of an item, reduce workforce
burden through efficiencies, provide for agency management reporting,
and facilitate the preparation of financial statements and reports.
Real Property Accountability (RPA)
RPA is focused on acquiring access to real-time information on DoD
real property assets.
Benefits: Increased access to more reliable, accurate real property
information and decreased operational costs. RPA provides the capability
to electronically manage the DoD real property portfolio, accurately
identify and value environmental liabilities, and directly supports
improved financial visibility. RPA seeks to make accurate location
information available to the transportation, warfighting, logistics,
and personnel communities.
Financial Visibility (FV)
FV is focused on providing immediate access to accurate and reliable
financial information that will enhance efficient and effective decision-making.
Benefits: Standardized financial data and reporting processes that
enable decision makers to reliably evaluate program options and resource
constraints. FV seeks to reduce the cost of auditability, consolidate
disbursement and collection information into a single enterprise-wide
system that provides standardized Treasury reporting, and institute
a standardized process for financial management activities associated
with intragovernmental exchanges of goods and services.
