Abstract
The purpose of this MBA Project was to investigate and provide a comprehensive
evaluation of the current Department of the Navy Procurement Metrics that are collected. These
metrics are collected by the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Acquisition
Management. This project was conducted at their request and with their support. The goal of
this project was to determine if the current metrics are the appropriate procurement performance
measures. Specifically, this MBA Project attempted to answer these three questions: (1) Do the
metrics align with strategy? (2) Can they be measured effectively? and (3) Are they linked to
value? The framework used to explore these questions is Robert Simon’s Levers of Control
model. These procurement metrics are part of a Diagnostic Control System and are being
evaluated as such. Simon’s Nature of Measures model is also used in the analysis and helps
determine metric objectiveness, completeness and responsiveness.
