Partnering: A Better Way of Doing Business
Partnering is the creation of a government-contractor relationship that promotes achievement of mutually beneficial goals. It involves an agreement in principle to share the risks involved in completing a project, and to establish and promote a collaborative work environment.

INCOSE System Engineering Handbook: IPPD
Many aspects of concurrent engineering have been practiced in the U.S. where innovative management techniques such as concurrent engineering and Program Evaluation & Review Technique (PERT) for program control have evolved.

In order to facilitate system development at maximum speed on all fronts, tight interfaces were defined and maintained between all subsystems. Then, development of all subsystems proceeded in parallel. As the subsystems were developed, they were connected in conformance with the earlier-established interface definitions. This approach had great risks when most of the key technologies were all in immature development status.

Army Partnering in Defense Contracts
This web page provides substantive information relating to a dispute avoidance and conflict management process being used in Defense and Aerospace contracts called Partnering. Partnering is designed to improved contract performance and reduce or eliminate contract litigation. While this process has traditionally been implemented in the construction industry, it is now being applied on all types of contractual and regulatory relationships. This page is designed to provide substantive information on the philosophy and process, the proven benefits of the process, case studies, sample documents, and support from top level Government Executives.

Partnering is a commitment between government and industry to improve communications and avoid disputes. It is accomplished through an informal process with the primary goal of providing American soldiers with quality supplies and services, on time, and at a reasonable price.

AAAV IPT Structure
The IPT structure for the EFV program is based as closely as possible on a one-to-one relationship with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) structure. This relationship to the WBS is a management tool that enables resource planning, expenditure, and accomplishment. The implementation of the derived requirements is a four level IPT structure that integrates both horizontally and vertically. The four levels are hierarchical in that each level embodies the allocated goals and objectives of the levels below it. The levels are connected by allocated requirements of performance and cost: not organizational responsibility.

OPM Alternative Dispute Resolution Guide
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) consists of a variety of approaches to early intervention and dispute resolution. Many of these approaches include the use of a neutral individual such as a mediator who can assist disputing parties in resolving their disagreements. ADR increases the parties' opportunities to resolve disputes prior to or during the use of formal administrative procedures and litigation (which can be very costly and time-consuming). It typically is not intended to replace the more traditional approaches and it can provide long term solutions to employee-employer conflicts through stakeholders' participation and buy-in.
