Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Defense Reform Initiative (DRI), focusing on: (1) the types of performance measures used to track progress toward achieving DRI program goals; (2) opportunities to add or improve on existing performance measures; and (3) performance measurement limitations.<p/>GAO noted that: (1) DRI initiatives are assessed largely through output performance measures that provide an indication of the status of implementation; (2) as the Department of Defense (DOD) continues its efforts to reform its business processes, opportunities exist to increase the emphasis on outcome measures that would help it better assess results of the initiatives individually and collectively; (3) however, credible financial and other performance data needed to establish more outcome-oriented measures are not available in some areas; and (4) the fact that DOD does not have adequate cost systems continues to impair its ability to develop reliable cost-based performance measures. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-169/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-169.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-169/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-169.pdf GAO/NSIAD-99-169 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-169 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-99-169; Defense Infrastructure: Improved Performance Measures; Performance measures Defense economic analysis Defense cost control Reengineering (management) Management information systems Privatization Federal agency reorganization Strategic planning Private sector practices Military downsizing DOD Quadrennial Defense Review Defense Reform Initiative DOD Total Asset Visibility Initiative DOD Commercial Activities Management Information System Title 10 Section 2466 Title 10 Section 2469 10 U.S.C. 2466 10 U.S.C. 2469 Public Law 103-62 Public Law 105-261
