The Department of Defense (DoD) constructs, operates, and maintains a large number of facilities. DoD incorporates life-cycle cost-effective practices into many aspects of the military planning and construction processes. This report provides RAND's description and assessment of the process used to obtain life-cycle cost-effective facilities and how that affects DoD construction options and choices.

Purchased goods and services are an increasingly large proportion of public and private enterprise budgets. Various enterprises have therefore developed more or less successful supply strategies. This monograph draws lessons from their experiences for the Air Force and the Department of Defense by synthesizing academic, business, and professional literature. The authors offer a series of steps for analyzing spending, segmenting it into major commodity groups based on value to the enterprise and vulnerability, prioritizing these groups for purchasing and supply management efforts, and developing and executing purchasing strategies for them. Both the initial segmentation of commodity groups and the development of supply strategies for them involve use of cross-functional teams comprising experts in the commodity and its uses, as well as other stakeholders. The authors describe the makeup of these teams and their tasks and goals. Finally, the authors note that, although some activities are common to most supply strategies, no one process is likely to fit all enterprises and commodities. An approach that delivers the most rewards to the enterprise will require extensive analysis.

The Department of Defense (DoD) may face challenges as it attempts to maintain its goal of spending about 23 percent of prime-contract dollars for goods and services with small businesses and at the same time apply strategic-sourcing practices to reduce total costs and improve performance and efficiency and in ways that will not conflict with small-business goals.
