Efficiency Review & Progress DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY EFFICIENCY REVIEW To unify the Department, Secretary Napolitano has launched major reforms to foster a culture of responsibility and fiscal discipline, cut costs and streamline operations through a series of initiatives that are expected to lead to hundreds of millions of dollars in cost avoidances. Since its launch in March 2009, DHS’s Efficiency Review has implemented 20 separate initiatives Department-wide to improve efficiency, streamline operations and promote greater accountability, transparency and customer satisfaction. The Efficiency Review has led to improvements in how the Department manages its resources in several areas, including its physical assets and support of its workforce, as well as the day-to-day expenditures required to do business. PHYSICAL ASSETS Strategic refinements in how DHS manages its physical assets have led to savings and improvements. For example, by using excess information technology equipment instead of buying new equipment, DHS avoided costs of $31K in the last quarter of FY 2009. In the area of fleet management, DHS Components are making great strides towards increasing the percentage of hybrids and alternative-fuel vehicles in their fleets. Components are also taking steps to encourage the use of alternative fuel instead of petroleum whenever possible. Initiatives in this area include: � Implementing an electronic tracking tool for fleet usage data to identify opportunities for alternative fuel usage; heightening vigilance for fraud, waste or abuse; and optimize fleet management; � Initiating acquisition/leasing of hybrid vehicles for administrative use and alternative-fuel vehicles in cases where hybrids are not feasible; � Implementing energy efficiencies in all facility management projects. WORKFORCE SUPPORT Supporting our workforce by giving them the tools and training they need is good business, and it translates into a more productive and efficient workforce. DHS is maximizing training opportunities while reducing costs by standardizing training modules across the Department. Further, DHS is improving access to training and information through technology. Initiatives in this area include: � Developing cross component training opportunities for employees; Establishing a plan to ensure the DHS workforce has employees sufficient in number and skill to deliver our core mission; � Streamlining decision-making processes in headquarters offices to eliminate redundancies; 19
Efficiency Review & Progress � Improving DHS communications by ensuring consistency and coordination; � Conducting an assessment of the number of full-time, part-time employees and contractors to better manage our workforce; � Increasing coordination across all headquarters and operating Components; � Developing a process for obtaining preliminary applicant security background data for candidates referred for final consideration; � Standardizing content for new-employee orientation and mandatory annual training modules DHS-wide; EXPENDITURES ON DAY-to-DAY Changing the way the Department spends the funds necessary to conduct its day-to-day business, from acquiring office supplies to renting facilities, has allowed DHS to significantly reduce those costs. During the last quarter of fiscal year 2009, DHS avoided $2.9M in costs through improved travel and conference planning. In addition, DHS expects to avoid costs of $1.3M in fiscal year 2010 by consolidating subscriptions for several publications as well as $87.5M in software licensing and maintenance costs over the next six years. Initiatives in this area include: � Consolidating subscriptions to professional publications and newspapers; � Maximizing use of government office space for meetings and conferences in place of renting facilities; � Minimizing printing and distribution of reports and documents that can be sent electronically or posted online; � Leveraging buying power to acquire software licenses for Department-wide usage;� � Eliminating non-mission critical travel and maximizing use of conference calls and webbased training and meetings; � Eliminating all external contracts for the design and production of new seals and logos � Increasing usage of DHS-wide blanket purchase agreements for office supplies; � As replacements are needed, converting printers, faxes, and copiers into all-in-one machines; � Using refurbished IT equipment (computer and mobile devices) and redeploying the current inventory throughout DHS. DHS employees submitted thousands of suggestions in response to the President’s SAVE award campaign. The best of these suggestions will be incorporated into the efficiency review process. 20
