WCAC ICEAA October Luncheon: The Cost of Bureaucracy
October 31, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

SUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA October Luncheon: The Cost of Bureaucracy
PRESENTED BY: Zachary Matheson, NNSA
TIME: October 31, 2024 | 12:00 to 1:00pm eastern
SUMMARY:
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has separate management methods for capital construction projects, with enhanced requirements for larger projects. Naively, one might expect that enhanced requirements might increase program management costs and possibly impact schedule. However, as the enhanced management requirements are tied to a dollar threshold, comparing costs is not straightforward. In this paper, we share results of a regression analysis that developed separate cost and schedule regressions for each management method and a comparison of the costs by management type.
