THE 5-I MODEL
To assist the PMR process in achieving its goals in a more productive, preventative, positive and educational manner, ACC-APG has developed the 5-I Model to address hurdles and create a positive change in the procurement process. (Graphic by David A. Chiola, ACC-APG and USAASC)
robust knowledge base, provided better support to its headquar- ters, improved morale, produced more comprehensive results and systematically drove center-wide risk from medium to low.
Te 5-I Model has value beyond PMR. ACC-APG demonstrated the effectiveness of the 5-I Model once again when faced with three simultaneous inspections: a command inspection through the Headquarters Army Contracting Command’s Organiza- tional Inspection Program (OIP); a PMR as outlined in the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) Appendix CC; and assessments as part of the RMIC Program, as outlined in Army Regulation 11-2, “Managers’ Internal Control Program.” Tis time, however, the 5-I Model was used to show the similar- ities of each inspection even though each was guided by separate processes, rules, regulations and reporting chains. ACC-APG realized that each process, although different, included the same I’s that the Model speaks to: Inspection, Identification, Improvement, Iteration and Integration. Tat realization allowed ACC-APG to distill each inspection into its simplest steps, align
them, uncover similarities, communicate requirements to all stakeholders and tackle everything as a unified team.
Taskers to the workforce, data collection efforts, briefings and meetings were all conducted once but had triple the impact, as the results could be applied to all three inspections. Report- ing processes were combined so that a single point of contact could handle all inspection due outs. Additionally, best practices and lessons learned from all inspections could be integrated into pre-award processes to be mitigated early. Te result was low- risk ratings in all three inspections and zero material weakness reported in the RMIC Program.
In 2023, ACC-APG shared these concepts with the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army – Procurement (ODASA(P)). Ten in 2024, the ODASA(P) conducted “PMR Roadshows” to all its enterprise partners including the Army Contracting Command, Mission and Installation Command, the Army Corps of Engineers, the National Guard Bureau and
