ROADSHOW VII The US Army Soldier systems Command is hosting the US Army Materiel Command Roadshow VII at the Ramada Rolling Green Inn and Conference Center, 311 Lowell Street, Andover, MA on 20-22 October 1998. The Army Roadshow program has been a great success. Over the past few years, DoD and industry personnel have taken the opportunity to learn about the Army's acquisition reform thrust by attending these roadshows. The roadshow program serves as an educational tool to aid in streamlining the acquisition process and yield cost reductions within the Army and DoD. Who should attend: Everyone who designs, develops, tests, buys, supports, requires, or manages Army materiel. Please join us. Be a part of the multi-disciplined workshop teams that will provide synergistic thinking to attack the costs of ownership. Roadshow Highlights: Hear senior Army executive's insights on reducing Total Cost of Ownership and significant developments in the partnering program. Learn what drives ownership costs during the requirements, acquisition, and sustainment phases of the life cycle. Analyze and discuss effective techniques for reducing Total cost of Ownership for both new and legacy systems. Play the Total Ownership Cost Game to see the results of your efforts using a simulation. Participate in focus groups to identify barriers and enablers for techniques to reduce cost of ownership in your commodity command. There is no fee to attend Roadshow VII, but space is limited and registration is required. Registration form, agenda and hotel information are available at our SSCOM web site.
