The Business Problem

DoD Supply Chain Cost/Schedule

Challenges

1. No Cost/Schedule Communication Standard

2. Many Suppliers - Multiple Internal Systems

3. Sub Contractors (DoD - 80% subcontractors)

4. Time Bomb – 15% Rule (10%?)Tower ofBabel

3

Supply Chain Impact

• Data Sharing: Manual Effort, Cumbersome– Email, FAX, US Postal Mail, hand-delivered, FTP, EDI, etc.

– Data is often re-keyed

– Ad hoc solutions required to collect data from sources

– Data is manually rolled-up throughout the supply chain

– Security typically not planned

4

Proposed Solution

A Single Standard for the Supply Chain

Requirements:

1. Trusted Standards Body - Cost / Schedule Focus

2. XML Savvy – Lingua Franca for the web

3. World-Wide – DoD no longer just U.S. supplied

5

CEFACT

WHY CEFACT?

1. Extensive Cost/Schedule Experience

2. Extensive ebXML Expertise

3. World-Wide Standards Body

6

Results

Cost and Schedule Standard:

1. Published by CEFACT March 2008

2. DoD Policy

3. Industry Support

4. Supplier Adoption

What is EVGen3?

Earned Value Data Reporting: 3rd Generation

9

EVGen3 Reporting

EV Data Global Standardization– One data format world-wide.

– Standardized EV business processes• Contract Initiation, Periodic Reporting, Rebaseline,

Contract Closure, etc.

Supply Chain Automation– Business-to-Business sharing of EV Data

– Best-practice IT solutions

10

Results

Lower Cost

through improved accuracy and timeliness

– No re-keying of data (less human error)

– More timely data delivery (fewer delays)

– Ability to move data directly between different vendor tools

11

Results

Increased Utility of cost/schedule data

– Business Intelligence • Data Warehousing for historical & trend analysis

– Increased operational awareness• Tripwires get triggered when data is outside thresholds

12

Results

Supply Chain Automation

• Agile data transport and distribution capability– across organizational boundaries

• Secure handling of data– among business partners

13

Implications

More Efficient Supply Chains

Developing Nations

• Instant compatibility with worldwide projects

• Cheaper startup costs for small business

Industrialized Nations

• Less manual labor

• Centralized Oversight – Decentralized Execution

• Immediate access to subcontractor status
