formal plan should be developed which shows the tasks to be completed, the timeline for completion, and the person(s) responsible for task completion. An example of a plan to improve Tenet 9 – Subcontractor Involvement, is shown in Figure 5. This plan delineates the specific activities, by weeks, which are required to improve the tenet level assessment rating within the schedule constraints. Figure 5: Example - Affordability Management Tenet Improvement Plan Controls and Reviews Each enterprise establishes its own approach to controls and reviews for the assessment and utilizing the Affordability Management Tenets. This process, as explained earlier, takes 3 to 5 years to advance 50 to 60 points, even with aggressive, organized efforts. Initially monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly reviews may be required. Once the improvement process is established, semi-annual may suffice. Whatever schedule of review is adopted, it is incumbent upon enterprise to be the driving force in seeing that improvement occurs. management should expect both management and program management to report at the Affordability Management Tenets Reviews. An incentive program commensurate with goal achievement may maintain the impetus for the improvement process. Award criteria may include goal attainment ahead of schedule.
