Trained, Disciplined Professionals Are Key to Acquisition Excellence

摘要

Acquisition reform and the search for acquisition excellence are never-ending topics of discussion. That probably reflectsrnthe fact that after hundreds of reform studies and thousands of articles, we still haven't put many of those good suggestions into practice. The current performance of major defense acquisition programs would indicate we haven't hit the proper groove yet.rnThere is now a serious effort under way in the House of Representatives on defense acquisition reform. A House Armed Services Committee panel has just released a draft of its findings that culminate a year of study under the leadership of Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J. Industry was invited to comment on the draft.
