Abstract
The purpose of this MBA Project is to investigate the possibility/feasibility of re-engineering the Littoral Combat Ship Mission Module (PMS-420) business process to function more efficiently. The Defense Acquisition system is designed to support the National Security Strategy by managing the technologies and programs that produce weapons system for the United States Armed Forces. This paper reviews the genesis of PEO LMW and its basic functionality, as well as discusses in detail the unique business processes of PMS-420 and its varied inter-agency relationships. Additionally, this paper discusses the business processes of two other acquisition programs within PEO LMW; 1) Naval Special Warfare (PMS-340) and 2) Explosive Ordnance Disposal (PMS-408). Business processes and management policies of these other acquisition programs that promote efficiency are presented and analyzed for their applicability to PMS-420. The final portion of this paper is a summary of the findings and recommendations to PMS 420 in order for it to function more efficiently.
