2.3 Issues with the Current Methodology
Currently, the analysis of the OCRs is based solely on the experience of the
OPS‘s staff and there is no systematic method in place to guide the prioritization of the
requests. Hence, it is a challenging task to evaluate and compare the contribution of each
system to the BAF‘s operational capability.
The lack of an integrated performance measurement and management model
makes it difficult for the OPS‘s analysts to choose which OCRs will be accepted
(generate a POR) and which ones will be rejected. This scenario can lead to a non
optimal budget allocation, leaving vulnerable areas without the needed resources and
important programs unfunded.
In addition to that, the performance indicators currently in use to evaluate the
OCRs are not necessarily designed using the strategic documents as a guide. This
situation might lead to the use of the wrong indicators, not directly related with the
strategic plan.
