Best Value Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS)

1. PBSRG GLOBAL Best Value Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) Dean T. Kashiwagi, PhD Director, Professor Fulbright Scholar Performance Based Studies Research Group www.pbsrg.com January 27, 2011

2. “Best Value” • Considering other factors than price for award • Many “best value” procurement processes

3. “Best Value” • Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) is a best value process that includes concepts that force vendors to be accountable, measure their performance, and manage and minimize risk that they do not control • PIPS is a conceptual technology that anyone can do • Groups come to ASU to license and learn PIPS because of the technology that is counterintuitive and simplistic is difficult to learn and apply

4. Best Value PIPS • Transfers risk and control to the best performing vendor • Do not need client expertise • Minimizes client decision making • Best value vendor dictates what will be delivered

5. PIPS: Best Value Standard • Transparent • Fully documented • Very difficult to protest • Clients did very well in the protests • Outstanding results • Changes paradigm of delivery • Not a procurement delivery system • Minimizes subjectivity • “Win-win” • Maximizes contractor profit • Holds everyone accountable • Certify and track performance of all participants

6. PBSRG’s Research Results(Performance Based Studies Research Group) • Worldwide as a leader in Best-Value Systems • Conducting research since 1994 • 900+Projects • $4.4 BillionServices & Construction • 5% Increase in Vendor profit • 98% On-time, On-Budget, Customer satisfaction • PMI, NIGP, IFMA, IPMA • Tests in Netherlands, Botswana/Africa • ASU – investments of over $100M due to BV

7. Industry Structure High III. Negotiated-Bid II. Value Based Owner selects vendor Negotiates with vendor Vendor performs Best Value (Performance and price measurements) Quality control Contractor minimizes risk Performance I. Price Based IV. Unstable Market Specifications, standards and qualification based Management & Inspection Client minimizes risk Perceived Competition Low High

8. Micro-management 8

9. There is something wrong with an inefficient micro-managed system….. There is too much work…. Everyone has to do everything, and no one has the time to succeed…. Performance will not go up The only way to survive is through relationships This is not an efficient or successful environment

10. “Micro-manager’s Code” The movement of risk..... Is It Working? NO YES Don’t Mess With It! Did You Mess With It? YES YOU IDIOT! NO Anyone Else Knows? Will it Blow Up In Your Hands? YES You’re SCREWED! YES Can You Blame Someone Else? NO NO Look The Other Way NO Hide It Yes NO PROBLEM!

11. Event Initial conditions Final conditions Laws Laws Time (Control, impact, and influence)

12. Believes in chance Being controlled by others Will controls others Does not adequately preplan due to perception of too many variations Blames others if something goes wrong Be Influenced Vs. Cannot be Influenced

13. Me vs.Them Us Control Technical Risk Don’t Control Don’t Control Control Paradigm Shift: contractors should have minimal technical risk and minimize risk that they do not control Risks Risks

14. Price based (transaction based) Wrong person talking Decision making on both sides Can perfectly predict the future Experts told to not think Buyer tells the vendor what to do and how to do it. Best Value (efficient, minimized transactions) Buyer says what he wants Vendors tell buyer what he can get Poor performance

15. Price Based or Traditional Procurement vs. Best Value PIPS • Wrong party doing the directing and decision making • Decision making • Management, direction, control • Confusion • Reactive • More people required • Non-transparent • Expert doing the directing and minimal decision making • Expertise • Experts document own deviation/performance • No confusion • Proactive • Less people required • Transparency, simple

16. Paradigm Shift High • Transfer risk and control to contractors • Identify source of all deviations • Contractors performance includes minimizing risk that they do not control • WRR/RMP is an indicator of performance III. Negotiated-Bid II. Value Based Best Value (Performance and price measurements) Quality control Owner selects vendor Negotiates with vendor Vendor performs Contractor minimizes risk Performance I. Price Based IV. Unstable Market Specifications, standards and qualification based Management & Inspection Client minimizes risk Perceived Competition High Low

17. Best Value SystemPerformance Information Procurement System (PIPS)PM model, Risk Management model PHASE 2: PRE-PLANNING QUALITY CONTROL PHASE 3: MANAGEMENT BY RISK MINIMIZATION PHASE 1: SELECTION

18. Best Value System(alignment of expertise) Vendor is Expert Vendor is Expert PHASE 2: PRE-PLANNING QUALITY CONTROL PHASE 3: MANAGEMENT BY RISK MINIMIZATION PHASE 1: SELECTION Vendor is not an Expert

19. Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) Vendor is Expert Vendor is Expert PHASE 2: PRE-PLANNING QUALITY CONTROL PHASE 3: MANAGEMENT BY RISK MINIMIZATION PHASE 1: SELECTION Vendor is not an Expert Detailed Technical Increased flow of information Preplanning Risks and concerns Risk Managmeent Qual;ity Control Quality Assurance Transparent Dominant Simple Differential

20. Preplanning Pre-Award Period Vendor is Expert Vendor is Expert PHASE 2: PRE-PLANNING QUALITY CONTROL PHASE 3: MANAGEMENT BY RISK MINIMIZATION PHASE 1: SELECTION Vendor is not an Expert • Vendor coordinates schedule • Contract is written in terms of performance information • (dominant performance metrics) • Vendor coordinates and gets contract approved and signed

21. Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) Vendor is an Expert Filter 6 Pre-Award Period Filter 1 Past Performance Information Filter 4 Prioritize (Identify Best Value) Filter 5 Cost Verification Filter 2 Project Capability Filter 3 Interview High Blind Rating • Technical Risk of Competitors • Non-technical risk (no control) • Value Added • Financials • Milestones (percentage quicker) Criteria Interview Scope RA Plan Value Added Measurement Financials Schedule PPI Dominance Check Ratings are dominant Best value is within cost range PA Docs WRR RMP Tech. Coord. Award Quality of Vendors Low Selection Phase Time Vendor is not an expert

22. Selection Criteria • Past Performance Information (PPI) (not rated, weighted) • Project Capability (blind review) • Technical risk (rated, weighted) • Non-technical risk that vendor does not control (NTR) (rated, weighted) • Value added (VA) (rated, weighted) • Price (not rated, weighted) • Milestone Schedule (not weighted or rated) • Interview (rated, weighted)

23. Self Regulating Loop (PIPS)(Six Sigma DMAIC Generated) Actions Minimize data flow Minimize analysis Minimize control = Identify Value V R = Minimize Risk M = Self Measurement Past Performance Information (PPI) Requirements (DBB, DB, CMAR, DBO) Efficient Service Managed and Controlled by Vendor R Capability To Do Project R Interview Key Personnel Matrix Comparison R M Best Value for the Lowest Cost (Determined by Vendors) V R Preplanning, Risk Management M Measure again M R

24. Me vs. Them Us Paradigm Shift: contractors should have minimal technical risk and should minimize risk that they do not control Risks Risks Non-technical Risk Non-technical Risk Technical Risk

25. Visionary developer/FM of “2010” Improve value and not cutting cost Added value: 10X Supply chain (SC) thinking No constraints in SC value thinking Geographical Industry Function Clientele Processes Contract with PBSRG to use BV PIPS to deliver $B construction in the next 3 years Will require contractors to have understanding of WRR/RMP and manage and minimize all risk Dato Gan and Brunsfield: Best Value Guru

26. Services is simply a series of events: preplanning is everything Initial conditions Final Conditions Time WRR, RMP, Milestone Schedule starts at NTP

29. Performance Info Performance Information

30. Conclusions • Minimize information flow • Make things simple • Minimize decision making • Ask people how they know what they know • Ask people what they see • Ask people how they will think in the other party’s best interest • Hold them accountable • Make people measure themselves • Minimize everyone’s effort • Work with people who are comfortable, simple, concise, confident, visionary, successful, and give you opportunity to excel

31. Paradigm Shift High • Transfer risk and control to contractors • Identify source of all deviations • Contractors performance includes minimizing risk that they do not control • WRR/RMP is an indicator of performance III. Negotiated-Bid II. Value Based Best Value (Performance and price measurements) Quality control Owner selects vendor Negotiates with vendor Vendor performs Contractor minimizes risk Performance I.
