Dr. Drummond 9 June 1992

Attached is a copy of the scripted TAPES briefing which we discussed

on 2 June 1992.

In reviewing the DNSO Vision and Mission statements, and the DISA

V21/TQM Strategic Initiatives, I believe TAPES can be applied in

several ways to the needs of DNSO, within my overall duties of

Organizational Development.

Function/process modeling for DISA/DNSO reorganization/evolution

into a fully integrated Functional Structure, as part of the

Culture MFA.

TQM Process Action Team process decomposition and improvement,

and a tool to aid in Systematic Process Improvement.

Identification/refinement of Customers and their requirements,

and the flow of products/services into, within, and from DNSO.

Life cycle management of customer requirements with continual

customer, developer, and provider interaction.

In addition, TAPES could be applied in the following ways to DNSO or

for DISA as a whole.

Automated Agency Information Center, Directory, and Answering

Service (single source of information about Locations,

Organizations, Production Units, Functions, Processes, Resource

Configurations, and Resource Life Cycle Management, and the

relationships between them).

Provide a new integrating DoD/DISA corporate networked

management environment as an information network service.

Provide a single networked management system to aid the

integration of all eight DISA Strategic Initiatives and to

facilitate their implementation.

Provide a dynamic Business-Case/Functional-Economic Analysis

tool for DISA/DNSO functions and processes

Serve as a common DISA/DNSO tool to identify information

sources, subject area experts, and who is taking action on

agency tasks and transactions, and to track the chronology of

those tasks or transactions.
