“From Acquisition to Modernization: A New Era Begins”
The Master Process Officer for SAF/AQ and SQ is thrilled to announce the rebranding of the DAF Acquisition Process Model (APM) to the DAF Modernization Process Model (MPM). This reimagined version marks an important milestone in the model’s maturation, reflecting a broader focus on modernization across processes as we keep pace with Great Power Competition (GPC) implementation.
In the beginning, circa 2010, the Acquisition Process Model (APM) consisted of hand-drawn, high-level process flows on a whiteboard in the trenches of SAF/AQ’s Acquisition Chief Process Office (ACPO). As you can see from what the APM has become, we’ve come a long way, striving to evolve to become more useful and relevant to our stakeholders, especially the functional experts in the program offices navigating and tailoring myriad acquisition processes.
Why Change?
- Expanded Vision: To reflect the growing emphasis on Acquisition as a key component in the Department of the Air Force’s efforts to modernize to keep pace with the Global Power Competition
- Continuous Improvement: In alignment with our commitment to continuous process improvement, the new name reinforces the need for the DAF to continual modernization and respond quickly to changing needs.
- Customer-Centric: Based on user feedback, we will continue to evolve and expand, incorporating additional policies and developing features to assist you within the constraints of our tool set.
Our MPM update may be cosmetic, but rest assured, your experience will remain seamless. Stay tuned for more enhancements that will elevate your MPM journey!”
