Integrated Alliance

The IPPD methodology and the Alliance Contracting methodologies have a significant overlay. However, each methodology has strengths that when combined produce a significant synergy.

The primary differences are that Alliancing is more of a ‘top down’ approach, while IPPD is a ‘bottom up’ approach. Alliancing provides greater corporate alignment and flexibility than does IPPD. The IPPD methodology is bottom up driven. It provides greater alignment and integration through establishing integrated teams and shared systems forprocesses and operational teams, than does Alliancing (alliancing is usually limited to integrated teams for the Alliance Board and the Alliancing Management Team).

Through a ‘best of breed’ approach, the key features from Alliancing and IPPD are brought together to produce a ‘top down, bottom up’ methodology called Integrated Alliancing. The benefits of the merging ofthese methodologies are:

Low risk of doing business through aligning all stakeholders across the entire organisation

Features of the Integrated Alliance organisational design are:

Integrated teams are established for the Alliance Board and Alliance Management Team

The fee is at risk based on its performance The alliancing business planning process is used to establish the

annual budgets The alliancing FLKPI model and a fee modifier are used to connect the

fee to performance An Alliance Balanced Score Card is established and flowed down to IPTs Partnering is used to establish and facilitate the development and

performance of all integrated teams As a part of the Partnering process, local balanced score cards are

developed and used by all integrated teams and platform groups Integrated Teams using the IPPD methodology are established for both

process and control teams Shared systems and process are established for the Integrated Teams

Each of the two methodologies are now described, the two methodologies mapped, and the best of breed Integrated Alliance Methodology defined.

Description of AlliancingAlliancing is a organisational configuration / methodology that aligns organisations through: establishing an initial business plan through a competitive selection

process that includes the contractor’ fee, fee linked key performanceindicators (FLKPI), and stretch goals

establishing integrated organisational governance (alliance board) andsenior operational management (alliance management team)

empowering the alliance board to change the business plan, fee moderator and FLKPI

operationalising the client’s objectives through FLKPI). agreeing an annual business plan with stretch goals and fee linked key

performance indicators (FLKPI) linking the contractor’s profit to their achievement of the client

objectives. Alliancing uses a unanimous vote model for decision making in the alliance board and the alliance management team.

Using an algorithm the weight FLKPI Connecting the quantum of fee payable to the contractor to a fee

moderator where for exceptional performance a contractor will receivedouble their fee, for business case performance its baseline fee, andfor poor performance no fee

Open communication and transparency establishing shared systems for financial and operational management Using business cases as the process for changing the scope of the

business plan and for all projects. Each business case defines project scope, FLKPI measures and milestones, and operational business impact measures

Description of IPPD

The United States Under Secretary of Defence (Acquisition and Technology) has identified (1995) critical changes that must take place in the US Department of Defence (DoD) in order for successful IPTs to beformed. DoD must:

"...move away from a pattern of hierarchical decision-making to a process where decisions are made across organisational structures by integrated product teams. It means we are breaking down institutional barriers. It also means that our senior acquisition staffs are in a receive mode - not just a transmit mode.The objective is to be receptive to ideas from the field to obtain buy-in and lasting change."

Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) is a management technique that simultaneously integrates all essential acquisition activities through the use of multidisciplinary teams to optimise the design, manufacturing, supportability and operation processes. IPPD facilitates meeting cost and performance objectives from product conceptthrough production, including field support. One of the key IPPD tenets (all of which are described in attachment 2) is multidisciplinary teamwork through Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). These teams enable making the right decisions at the right time.

IPTs are composed of representatives from all appropriate functional disciplines and stakeholders working together with a Team Leader to build successful and balanced programs, identify and resolve issues, andmake sound and timely decisions. Team members do not necessarily commit 100% of their time to an IPT, and a person may be a member of more than one IPT.Copyright Dr David Dombkins 2000 3

The purpose of IPTs is to make team decisions based on timely input fromthe entire team (e.g. program management, engineering, manufacturing, test, logistics, financial management, procurement, and contract administration) including customers and suppliers. IPTs are generally formed at the Program Manager level and may include members from both Government and thesystem/subsystem contractor. A typical IPT at the program level, for example, maybe composed of the following functional disciplines: design engineering,manufacturing, systems engineering, test and evaluation, subcontracting,safety and HAZMAT, quality assurance, training, finance, reliability, maintainability, and supportability, procurement, and contract administration, suppliers and customers.

Concurrent Development of Products and Processes - Processes should be developed concurrently withthe products which they support. It is critical that the processes used to manage, develop, manufacture, verify, test, deploy, operate, support, train people, and eventually dispose of the product be considered during product development.Product and process design and performance should be kept in balance.

Early and Continuous Life Cycle Planning - Planning for a product and its processes should begin early in the science and technology phase (especially advanced development) and extend throughout a products life cycle. Early life cycle planning, which includes customers, functions and suppliers, lays a solid foundation for the various phases of a product and itsprocesses. Key program events should be defined sothat resources can be applied and the impact of resource constraints can bebetter understood and managed.

Business Plans – In the competitive selection process the contractors prepare detailed business plans. These draft annual and overall program business plans are developed through a ‘convergence’ negotiating process, and then finalised, prior to contract signature through input from the client.

The agreed business plan, and its associated FLKPI, then become the program business plans. These plansare then monitored to maintain alignment, fit forpurpose and value for moneyby the Alliance Board. The Alliance Board can change the Business Plans, the FLKPI, and the fee moderator to ensure that the reward process drives the alliance’s behaviour

Maximize Flexibility for Optimization and Use of Contractor Unique Approaches –Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and contracts should provide maximum flexibility for optimization and use of contractor unique processesand commercial specifications, standards and practices.

Continuous Improvement and Innovation – Continuous improvement and innovation are driven through the Innovation Plan: the use of Partnering local balanced score

Event-Driven Scheduling - Ascheduling framework shouldbe established which relates program events to their associated accomplishments and accomplishment criteria. Anevent is considered complete only when the accomplishments associated with the event have been completed as measured by the accomplishment criteria. This event-drivenscheduling reduces risk by ensuring that product and process maturity are incrementally demonstrated prior to beginning follow-on activities.

Milestones – milestones andtheir measurement criteria,are defined in the businessplans for key program and sub project events. The schedule FLKPI is established that measures milestone achievement. The individual milestones are individually weighted (to add to 100%) according to their importance. For earlyachievement a milestone receives a score of 2, on time achievement a score of1, and for late performancea score of 0.
