Department Of Energy Can Improve

Management Of The Acquisition

Of Major Projects


The Department of Energy (DOE) is responsi-
ble for developing and managing the acquisi-
tion of a number of major projects essential
to our Nation's future energy security.

DOE has spent more than 2 years developing
guidance for managing its major system acqui-
sitions. However, GAO found that (1) DOE
has yet to define overall goals and objectives,
which has prevented managers from preparing
a mission analysis which would establish
agency priorities, (2) a lack of management
commitment has limited the role of the indi-
vidual project manager, and (3) DOE's review
of major systems by its advisory board has
been limited by a lack of pertinent documen-
tation.

GAO makes a number of recommendations
designed to help DOE identify its priorities
and effectively use its resources to manage
these projects.
