Business Process Reengineering (BPR) |
Section 1072 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 introduced new requirements into the Department's investment review process stipulating defense business system (DBS) modernizations may not be certified to obligate funds in excess of $1 million without a determination having been made on whether or not appropriate Business Process Reengineering (BPR) had been completed. Section 901 of the NDAA for FY 2012 modified the BPR requirements of the Department's investment review process by stipulating that funds available to the DoD, whether appropriated or non-appropriated, may not be obligated for DBSs in excess of $1 million over the period of the current future-years defense program, referred to as covered DBSs, until the Pre-Certification Authority (PCA) has determined that appropriate BPR had been undertaken. DCMO has taken a holistic approach to BPR which includes a Portfolio and End-To-End (E2E) perspective. The Department defines BPR as a "logical methodology for assessing process weaknesses, identifying gaps, and implementing opportunities to streamline and improve the processes to create a solid foundation for success in changes to the full spectrum of operations." This definition covers various perspectives of BPR and aligns with the principles of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) analysis. BPR seeks to ensure that the business process to be supported by a defense business system is as streamlined and efficient as practicable. Additionally, BPR seeks to eliminate or reduce the need to tailor commercial-off-the-shelf systems to meet unique requirements or incorporate unique interfaces. DCMO is working to ensure that BPR is properly implemented throughout DoD and our business systems are improved. Documents |
