We advise organizations on how to manage their logistics operations better, whether they perform such functions as vehicle maintenance and fueling in house or they outsource these activities to retail vendors, contractors, or a logistics or fleet management company. Our logistics and fleet review model and related performance measures (we track 60) supply crucial analytical information that identify and promote improvement opportunities.

Experience and Capabilities

Overall, our consulting services range from broad-based reviews of all facets of an organization's management practices to focused analyses of a single issue or opportunity.

Our experience includes assessment of supply-chain and outsourcing alternatives, where appropriate, and focused efforts to improve performance to sustain in-house programs.

Our consultants – who include experts with corporate, utility, law enforcement, federal, state, and city management experience in our practice areas – have undertaken projects for more than 400 private and public-sector clients, including: the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Services, and numerous Departments, Agencies, Bureaus, and Administration entities. Our range of experience across all these sectors enables us to identify management and performance best practices and measures outside our clients’ typical frames of reference. Moreover, to conduct our work effectively and efficiently, we have developed an array of analytical software tools that put information into the hands of decision-makers. Overall, government organizations can tap Mercury’s logistics and fleet research and consulting services and systems to achieve new levels of efficiency, cost-reduction, and regulatory compliance.

Our consultants apply facilitation skills and quality-management processes and techniques (e.g., brainstorming and affinity grouping, force-field analysis, flowcharting and process analysis, meeting management, leading discussion groups), as needed, in conducting their projects. Deming’s PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) cycle is our foundational quality-management model, and we apply such methods as Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Hoshin Planning, and other management and planning tools as appropriate.

Updated September 2014 Page 10 of 12

In the rapidly changing operational areas that comprise logistics, strategic and business planning are essential for identifying and promulgating policies and programs for tomorrow. As organizational-change consultants, we assist clients with preparation of policies suitable to organizational goals, objectives, culture, and constantly shifting external forces. Strategic planning and policy projects invariably include a due diligence cost study (as-is vs. to-be), best practice(s) assessment, benchmarking (cost, typical policies among organizations), and development of tiered programs and approaches for personnel categories and/or diverse organizational missions.

Organizational, Consultation and Project Management Controls and Processes

Most projects follow a tested consultation process:

Step 1 – Review of client background materials Step 2 – Kick-off meeting (review expectations, Gantt of tasks and timelines, communication protocol, “political” sensitivities, security, required information, points of contact, etc.)

Step 3 – On-site/multi-site fact-finding (interviews, process and database review, etc.)

Step 4 – Off-site fact-finding (surveys, information-gathering) Step 5 – Aggregation of on-site and off-site information for assessment Step 6 – Additional fact-finding as needed Step 7 – Review of findings and proposed recommendations with client

(a no-surprises meeting) Step 8 – Preparation and submission of report (and/or presentation as required)

Mercury consultants have extensive experience managing large and complex projects with short turn-around times. We have the proven ability to coordinate a team of experts and to oversee multiple subcontractors. We apply tested management tools and techniques, including project plans, responsibility matrices, process/people flowcharts, and work-flow diagrams. Mercury employs a formal quality control program to ensure that our services provide maximum value to our clients. It consists of several key processes.

Project plan and budget:

A requirement for every task order is to develop a plan of work and budget. At a kick-off meeting, the Mercury project director presents a Gantt that illustrates the plan of work, allocated resources by task, and a timeline specifying milestones and deliverables. The purpose of this step is to ensure clarity of goals and objectives and to secure plan concurrence (generally with the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative). Mercury then uses its scheduling, time management, and time and expense reporting procedures for delivering services in accordance with the plan and budget. Our experience has demonstrated that our project planning and procedures keep the plan of work on track and ensure client satisfaction.

Updated September 2014 Page 11 of 12

Time management and cost control:

Reports from our budget and expense system enable the project director to manage labor and cost relative to plan. In our experience, active oversight of time and cost is critical to assuring service quality (a budget overrun can lead to cutting corners and deterioration of service quality).

Progress monitoring and reporting:

We communicate regularly with our clients throughout the course of each engagement to ensure that they are aware of our progress and to give them a “preview” of our findings, conclusions, and recommendations as they emerge from our field work and data analysis.

Depending on the size, complexity, and duration of the engagement, our progress reporting may be relatively informal, occurring through conversations when we are on site and through periodic telephone calls with the client’s project manager, or it may be highly structured, encompassing the use of written reports and formally scheduled and conducted meetings with a steering committee. The key objective is to avoid surprises by encouraging the frequent and candid exchange of information between client and consultant.
