00:00.446 --> 00:01.326
(upbeat techno music)

00:01.326 --> 00:03.310
- The 39 Con's base infrastructure flight

00:03.310 --> 00:05.870
has been beta-testing
a innovative approach

00:05.870 --> 00:07.300
to a personal restructure.

00:07.300 --> 00:09.890
Traditionally, when the
contract requirement

00:09.890 --> 00:10.880
comes through the office,

00:10.880 --> 00:12.630
purchase requests is
assigned to an individual

00:12.630 --> 00:15.117
who takes it through
priority solicitation,

00:15.117 --> 00:18.230
post-award and covers
all the administration

00:18.230 --> 00:19.590
that goes along with that.

00:19.590 --> 00:22.230
The new restructure,
we've divided our flight

00:22.230 --> 00:23.968
into six functional layers.

00:23.968 --> 00:26.433
When the purchase request comes in,

00:26.433 --> 00:28.950
an individual will take
it for solicitation.

00:28.950 --> 00:30.620
After that, it goes to a new individual

00:30.620 --> 00:34.467
or group of individuals
for post-solicitation

00:34.467 --> 00:35.849
and post award.

00:35.849 --> 00:38.100
Administration, we have a team

00:38.100 --> 00:40.330
that is just assigned
for material submittals

00:40.330 --> 00:41.930
and just for invoices.

00:41.930 --> 00:44.100
That ensures that there
is subject matter experts

00:44.100 --> 00:46.850
along the way at every step
of the contracting process.

00:48.160 --> 00:50.550
It's increased our workload
efficiency by about 60%

00:50.550 --> 00:54.660
and saves about 140 man hours per month.

00:54.660 --> 00:56.220
If successful, this innovative approach

00:56.220 --> 00:58.700
can be used at other contract
offices across the world

00:58.700 --> 01:00.940
to improve efficiency

01:00.940 --> 01:03.093
by having those subject matter experts.
