BearingPoint, Inc. (NYSE:BE), one of the world's largest
management and technology consulting firms, has been awarded a blanket
purchase agreement (BPA) to provide advisory and assistance services
for the United States Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century
program (AFSO21), including the use of Lean and Six Sigma tools. The
Lean Six Sigma BPA spans five years with an award ceiling of $99
million.
AFSO21 is the key strategy to guide continuous process improvement
that allows the Air Force to continue evolving while meeting
mission-critical needs of today's warfighter. The AFSO21 program
borrows some of the best business principles from the corporate world
and applies them to Air Force organizations, structure and processes
to help identify and eliminate waste: waste of time, waste of manpower
and waste of money using Lean Six Sigma.
Leveraging its proven systems-integration capabilities,
BearingPoint's scope of work will include assisting in fully
integrating continuous process improvement practices, driving
institutionalization of AFSO21 and creating self-sufficiency through
training and education across the Air Force, primarily through the use
of the Lean-management process toolset. The firm has more than 60
years of combined experience in Lean and Six Sigma, and BearingPoint
professionals have extensive experience in all aspects of planning,
design, development, training and implementation of sustainable Lean
and Six Sigma projects with both government and commercial clients.
"This is a critical piece in our framing and execution efforts to
expand process improvement across the active duty, Guard and reserve
forces," said Brigadier General Taco Gilbert, director of the Air
Force Smart Operations Office. "Our Air Force process owners and
organizations will have a streamlined means to get highly qualified
support as we work to build our internal organic capability of trained
AFSO21 facilitators and experts."
"We know how to enable the transformation of organizations where
the focus is on driving strategic change and meeting operational goals
with efficiency and quality deliverables," said Mark Goulart, senior
vice president for BearingPoint's DoD practice. "The Air Force's
AFSO21 project is very forward-thinking and demands a results-oriented
approach that BearingPoint is well-suited to deliver on given our
people, our comprehensive methodologies and our powerful toolkits."
The BearingPoint team for this BPA will include Simpler
Consulting, NewVectors, Total Systems Development and VSE Corporation,
among others.
