| A Program Office, Contractor or Logistic Agency can use TLBM
in several ways to explore opportunities for allocating responsibility, improving
communications and reducing costs:
|
| A Baseline Description
of the Life Cycle: TBLM provides a common, agreed description of the major life
cycle activities and information flows, which a program will need to address. |
Exploring Boundaries:
The TLBM can be used to explore the allocation of roles and responsibility across
boundaries. Marking TLBM activities to show the organisation(s) responsible will provide a
deeper understanding of:
-
Current responsibilities
-
Information exchange requirements
-
Opportunities for Change
|
| A Benchmark: The integrated, through life approach, illustrated by TLBM provides a
benchmark of best practice across NATO. Program managers can use TLBM to assess how far
their program has progressed in taking full advantage of modern IT and business practice. |
Implementing Change: For maximum benefits the TLBM should be used, and further developed, as one
active component in a program of business change. |
Programs embarking on change can use the TLBM, in conjunction with NCOPS, as a start point for modelling their own future processes and as a tool for developing their information requirements.
