Organizational Assessment of Procurement Management Processes
Abstract
This research builds upon the emerging body of knowledge on
procurement and contract management process maturity assessments. In 2007, a
team of graduate students at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)
conducted an assessment of the procurement processes at two major U.S. Air
Force logistics centers. The assessments were conducted using the Contract
Management Maturity Model (CMMM). The purpose of this paper is to use
these combined procurement process assessment results to characterize the
current state of practice of contract management at these two logistics centers
and also within the Air Force logistics community. This paper summarizes the
assessment ratings, analyzes the assessment results in terms of contract
management process maturity, discusses the implications of these assessment
results for process improvement and knowledge management opportunities, and
provides insight on consistencies and trends in these assessment results to
federal government contract management.
