PACIFIC FLEET SOLUTION PROVIDER INITIATIVE (SPI) (PHASE VI ? SOLUTION FACILITATOR INITIATIVE (SFI) INTRODUCTION: Commander, U. S. Pacific Fleet (CDRPACFLT) is embarked on an ongoing and ambitious project known as the Solution Provider Initiative (SPI), to continuously enhance efficiency and to restructure processes within its headquarters, type commanders (TYCOMs) staff, Regional Commands (Reg Coms), operational fleet (afloat initiatives) and field activities. This project, SPI Phase VI ? Solution Facilitator Initiative (SFI) Ashore, will leverage the successes from the FY01 and FY02 SFI efforts, utilize industry best practices and business process reengineering techniques, and use the Navy?s investment in information technology (IT) to fundamentally change the way Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) headquarters (HQ) and Regional Commands conduct business. The project will single up regional business processes, standardize procedures, and enhance knowledge management, information sharing, and collaboration across the PACFLT enterprise. The FY03 SFI effort will extend FY02 SFI successes and embark on new initiatives with the intent of implementation across the PACFLT enterprise. This statement of work describes this next phase. BACKGROUND: SPI was developed to leverage technology in creating a knowledge/network centric environment in which information and knowledge could be managed intelligently and efficiently. In FY97, CINCPACFLT decided that leveraging technology could be achieved best by partnering with industry that had aggressively and successfully reengineered processes in recent years. As the first step, SPI focused on conducting Business Process Reengineering (BPR) at CINCPACFLT HQ. Processes were modified and numerous tools were created to improve decision-making and efficiencies. SPI evolved to include the TYCOMs; COMNAVSUBPAC, COMNAVAIRPAC, and COMNAVSURFPAC, in which tools and processes improvements developed for CINCPACFLT HQ, were imported in conjunction with developing command-specific solutions. The next challenging step was initiated when SPI teams deployed with the USS JOHN C. STENNIS (CVN-74) battle group and the USS BONHOMME RICHARD (LHD-6) amphibious ready group. In addition, a SPI team was provided to the Network Centric Innovation Center (NCIC) in San Diego, which was established to provide an institutional framework for developing fleet Best Practices (BP) and documenting SPI actions afloat for use in future deployments. SPI support for the operational fleet continued with a team deployed on the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN-72) battle group and a strengthening of the SPI team at NCIC. At the same time, SPI support was provided to the CONUS regions under the name Solution Facilitator Initiative (SFI). OBJECTIVE: The specific objectives of the work are: 1. To develop solutions to common problems that can be implemented across the PACFLT area of responsibility (AOR). 2. To standardize and streamline processes and systems across PACFLT. 3. To maximize return on investment. 4. To improve decision-making capability. 5. To complete initiatives selected by the SFI Review Board and implement across the PACFLT AOR. 6. To ensure and coordinate PACFLT Program Managers? concurrence on selected initiatives. 7. To ensure NMCI compliance where applicable. 8. To continuously improve the program management, readiness, and administrative processes of the PACFLT enterprise. SFI TEAMS Each consultant team deployed to a region shall consist of at least one consultant SFI Team Lead. There shall also be a consultant Project Manager staffed at CINCPACFLT to support enterprise solutions and provide overall coordination of SFI ashore initiatives and guidance to the Team Leads. SFI Team Leads shall report to the SFI Project Manager staffed at CINCPACFLT who in turn shall report to the Government (CINCPACFLT N46) SFI Program Manager or Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The Regional Business Managers or designated representatives are expected to be the Government on site contractor managers and shall provide the appropriate guidance and direction to the deployed SFI teams and Team Leads. The on site contractor manager shall provide feedback to the Government SFI Program Manager on overall project status and progress. The SFI Program Manager, in concert with the SFI Review Board, reserves the right to modify the contract and the Statement of Work to change SFI team compositions and levels of effort. It is understood such modifications may result in changes to the price of this contract. For example, should CINCPACFLT decide to implement an enterprise-wide solution during the period of this contract, the SFI Program Manager reserves the right to reorganize deployed skill sets and levels of effort to accommodate such an implementation plan. MAJOR TASKS: A. Financial Knowledge Management (FKM). Lead region ? COMNAVFORJAPAN/ COMNAVMAR.

COMNAVFORJAPAN has extended the concept to use the features of e-KM. In addition, many regions are collecting activity-based costing information that can be used to support these financial processes. The SFI team shall: ? Configure a financial management solution based upon the FKM tools developed in COMNAVMAR and COMNAVFORJAPAN that incorporates access to activity-based costing information. ? Implement the solution in participating regions. The participating regions are COMNAVREGNW, COMNAVREGHI, COMNAVFORKOREA, and NAVREGCONTCEN SINGAPORE. B. Performance Management.
