Presented By: DCMA John Van Dinther Chris Hassler UN/CEFACT Plenary September 2008 Introduction to EVGen3: 3 rd Generation Earned Value Data Reporting 5/17/2015

2 The Business Problem DoD Supply Chain Cost/Schedule Challenges 1.No Cost/Schedule Communication Standard 2.Many Suppliers - Multiple Internal Systems 3.Sub Contractors (DoD - 80% subcontractors) 4.Time Bomb – 15% Rule (10%?) Tower of Babel

3 Supply Chain Impact Data Sharing: Manual Effort, Cumbersome – , FAX, US Postal Mail, hand-delivered, FTP, EDI, etc. –Data is often re-keyed –Ad hoc solutions required to collect data from sources –Data is manually rolled-up throughout the supply chain –Security typically not planned

4 Proposed Solution A Single Standard for the Supply Chain Requirements: 1.Trusted Standards Body - Cost / Schedule Focus 2.XML Savvy – Lingua Franca for the web 3.World-Wide – DoD no longer just U.S. supplied

5 CEFACT WHY CEFACT? 1.Extensive Cost/Schedule Experience 2.Extensive ebXML Expertise 3.World-Wide Standards Body

6 Results Cost and Schedule Standard: 1. Published by CEFACT March DoD Policy 3. Industry Support 4.Supplier Adoption

8 International XML standard Web Services for Supply Chain Automation Eliminates disparate formats and media Facilitates data exchange for all parties What is EVGen3? Earned Value Data Reporting: 3rd Generation

9 EVGen3 Reporting EV Data Global Standardization –One data format world-wide. –Standardized EV business processes Contract Initiation, Periodic Reporting, Rebaseline, Contract Closure, etc. Supply Chain Automation –Business-to-Business sharing of EV Data –Best-practice IT solutions

10 Results Lower Cost through improved accuracy and timeliness –No re-keying of data (less human error) –More timely data delivery (fewer delays) –Ability to move data directly between different vendor tools

11 Results Increased Utility of cost/schedule data –Business Intelligence Data Warehousing for historical & trend analysis –Increased operational awareness Tripwires get triggered when data is outside thresholds

12 Results Supply Chain Automation Agile data transport and distribution capability –across organizational boundaries Secure handling of data –among business partners

13 Implications More Efficient Supply Chains Developing Nations Instant compatibility with worldwide projects Cheaper startup costs for small business Industrialized Nations Less manual labor Centralized Oversight – Decentralized Execution Immediate access to subcontractor status
