Structuring a best value JOC Program requires far more than getting a certification, buying software, or hiring a ‘JOC consultant”.
Few JOC Programs, especially within non-DOD Federal applications, are structured to provide BEST VALUE to Owners and Design-Builders. They have been set up to simply procure construction/maintenance services faster, and in manner cases without traditional or proper oversight. The net result, as shown by several independent third-party audits, has been problematic, including such poor outcomes as excessive costs, lack of cost transparency, and even fraud.
The benefits of a LEAN JOC Program are significant; however, owners must provide LEADERSHIP, COMMITMENT, and COMPETENCY.
