Show Aug. 25, 1994 11 Hilltop Times 4 Contracting team wins Gold Level excellence award by Gerald L. Yearsley Director, Quality Implementation Office During the July Quality Council, Maj. Gen. Lester L. Lyles, commander, Ogden Air Logistics Center, presented the Gold Level Center of Excellence to the Missiles Contract Administration Spares Team from the Contracting Directorate. The team had previously earned the Bronze Level Award in April 1993 and Silver Level Award in June 1993. To earn the Gold Level Award, the team completed significant process improvements to all five of their key processes. The results have been clearly evident in two specific areas: D Terminations for convenience. Purchasing nonstock listed items (ND items). The process used in termination for convenience g had been a problem where funds that had been placed on contract were tied up for extended periods of time. Numerous audits reported that the average time funds were tied up was in excess of a year (421 days). The delay was usually due to the time taken by the contracting officers to determine the funding estimates required to support the termination process. This amounted to $81.4 million tied up awaiting estimates from the termination contracting officers. Using process improvement techniques and expanding the team to include the process sharehold from the Financial Management Directorate and the Defense Logistic Agency field termination offices, numerous changes were made to improve the process.

The result too often was shipping, preservation and packaging problems that involved contract modifications, considerable costs and excessive delays. The team developed a buyers' guide and detailed instructions for completing the material inspection and receiving report form to assist both the buyers and the contractors. The result from using the guide has been a marked improvement in delivery timeliness, prompt payments to contractors and not a single nonstock item contract requiring modification in fiscal 1994. In making the presentation, Lyles was quick to point out the significance of these team accomplishments. "The prudent use of our limited resources and marked improvements in the efficiency of our processes are important not only to our customers, but essential to favorable considerations and decisions that will affect our future as an air logistics center," he said. "We applaud your efforts and are justifiably proud of your recognition as a Gold Level of Excellence."
