Through Life Capability Management: Transforming the efficiency
of procuring operational capability
What is Through Life Capability Management (TLCM)?
As efficiency becomes the byword for good business across
private and public sector, many organisations are reviewing their
procurement processes and supply chain to ensure they are
delivering value-for-money to all their stakeholders.
One organisation that is already undertaking a
major change programme to evolve its procurement process is the UK
MOD. Since 2005 publication of the Defence Industrial Strategy
(DIS) (and the formation of the Defence Acquisition Change
Programme), the UK MOD has been evolving its procurement process to
implement the processes, infrastructure and culture to deliver
Through Life Capability Management (TLCM).
TLCM is defined as: “…an approach to the
acquisition and in-service management of military capability in
which every aspect of new and existing military capability is
planned and managed coherently across all Defence Lines of
Development (DLoDs) from cradle to grave.”
Why is Through Life Capability Management (TLCM)
so critical?
Although heavily laden with military parlance,
the MOD’s approach to improving capability delivery by taking an
holistic approach to how it is defined, developed, managed and
disposed, is of value to any organisation.
The ability to make investment decisions based
on investigating how a change in training policy or updating IT
infrastructure can deliver improved operational benefit, as opposed
to cost of procuring new equipment, has huge implications on
anyone’s budget.
The content on the pages under this In Focus
topic, constitute both Vega’s and UK MOD’s latest thinking around
TLCM. Although TLCM developed for our defence clients, we believe
that the principles of TLCM have currency in any other Government
department or large commercial organisation.
