SAVUNMA TEDARİK PROJELERİNDE RİSK YÖNETİMİ

Öz

Savunma ekosisteminde içsel ve dışsal faktörlere bağlı olarak yaşanan değişimler savunma tedarik projelerinin yönetiminde güncel bir yönetim tekniği olan risk odaklı yaklaşımı zorunlu hâle getirmiştir. Ancak, uluslararası alanyazında yer alan çalışmalar, risk yönetiminin proje yöneticileri tarafından, iş kırılım yapısı, zaman çizelgeleme ya da kazanılmış değer yönetimi gibi teknikler kadar benimsenmediğini göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, 2000’li yıllardan itibaren bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların arttığı gözlemlenmektedir. Diğer taraftan ulusal alanyazında savunma tedarik projelerinde risk yönetimini ele alan çalışmalar yok denecek kadar azdır. Birkaç çalışmanın teknik riskler üzerinde yoğunlaştığı görülmektedir. Buradan hareketle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri savunma tedarik projelerine ilişkin raporlar incelenerek riskler tanımlanmaya ve risk azaltma için uygulanan faaliyet önerileri derlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak incelenen raporlardan elde edilen bilgiler ışığında ulusal savunma tedarik projelerinin yönetimi için önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Bu öneriler içerisinde ön plana çıkanlar: proje yönetiminde risk yönetim yaklaşımının kullanılması, karar vericilere projelerin karar noktalarında ihtiyaç duydukları yeterli bilginin sağlanması, bilgi tabanlı tedarik ve evrimsel tedarik yöntemlerinin kullanılması ve sistem mühendisliği yaklaşımından istifade edilmesidir.

Risk Management in Defense Acquisiton Projects

Öz

Changes in the defense ecosystem due to internal and external factors have made risk-oriented approach, which is a state-of-the-art management technique, mandatory in the management of defense acquisiton projects. However, studies in the international literature have shown that risk management is not adopted by project managers as much as techniques such as work breakdown structure, scheduling or earned value management. Yet, it’s observed that studies increase after 2000s. On the other hand, studies on risk management in defense acquisiton projects are scarce in the national literature. Few studies seem to concentrate on technical risks. From this point of view, by examining the reports on the defense acquisition projects of the United States, the risks were tried to be defined and the action recommendations applied for risk mitigation were compiled. As a result, recommendations were made for the management of national defense acquisition projects in the light of the information obtained from the reviewed reports. The recommendations include, but not limited to, employment of risk managemet in project management, provision of adequate information required by decision-makers at decision points, introduction of knowledge based and evolutionary acquisition strategies, and utilization of system engineering approach.
