DoD Client Needed to Verify Manning Required Before Deployment
OEi’s & OP2MYZE’s successes represent meaningful, measurable, sustainable results that have enabled our clients to achieve their goals and objectives. The examples below have been selected to represent the widest cross-section of needs and applications.
challenge
A DoD client needed to validate the manning concept for a persistent surveillance system. Initial plans indicated a need to spend $40M in personnel costs to conduct a proof of concept demonstration of the system. They had less than 3 months before committing to the deployment of personnel to Iraq.
solution
With Operational Blueprinting™ analyses OP2MYZE‘s principal consultant was able to provide statistically based answers on how people, processes, resources and technology could be utilized to minimize the manpower requirements.
- Collected data and developed a process model that would simulate the interactions of the people, processes, resources and technology of the system.
- Generated multiple simulations of potential changes in the process.
- Conducted experiments using the multiple simulations, which provided the statistical significance for required confidence in the analyses.
- Presented the model results at the highest levels within the intelligence community.
results
Big payoff!
As a result of the activities above, the client was prepared to achieve the following results:
- Reduction of 40% in personnel required for the planned activities.
- Saved over $15M.
- ROI was 15,000%, thanks to the low cost of upfront analysis and simulation.
