A well developed, comprehensive, state-wide cost reduction program can
institutionalize cost reduction into state government providing an ongoing means
of controlling the growth of government spending. In today’s political climate
the need for government services is constantly increasing while the willingness
on the part of taxpayers to fund services remains static. This leaves
increased government efficiencies – that is, reducing the costs of current
programs – as the best method for being able to do more with the current levels
of funding. Many attempts at cost reduction have only addressed some of
the components of a comprehensive program or have failed to provide sufficient
incentive to participate in the program for either suggestors or implementers.
In fact, most programs fight a loosing uphill battle for the implementation of
cost reductions due to the lack of incentives for the managers that would have
to actually implement them. We believe that by drawing upon experience
gained from the B2 Stealth Bomber Cost Reduction Program it is possible to
develop a successful incentivized cost reduction program at the state level.
