DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES FOR SIN 874

Reengineering or Process Transformation. Within these services, Ernst & Young assesses the baseline performance of a client’s business processes against strategic, financial and operational criteria and then identifies, designs, and implements changes that improve performance.

Reengineering services range in scope from focused improvements to address specific operational issues, to the implementation of total quality management practices, and the strategic redesign and reinvention of major business processes, organizational structures and information systems.

Measurement approaches include benchmarking, best practices analysis, total cost management, activity-based costing, product profitability, strategic performance measurement, risk-adjusted performance measurement, and return on capital value creation.

Business Change Implementation. These services focus on the creation of flexible organizational structures and preparation of a workforce that can survive and prosper as the pace of change accelerates. Methodologies applied include assessment of organizational change readiness, organizational redesign, team building training/education, employee involvement programs, award/recognition structures, and communications programs.

Knowledge Management. Ernst & Young helps organizations improve their performance through advances in organizational learning and new technologies in knowledge development and transfer. The firm is developing powerful concepts and tools, including knowledge measurement tools and knowledge transfer systems, to help organizations better manage knowledge.

Systems Information Security. Ernst & Young provides a wide range of IT security and assurance services, including strategy and systems development capabilities needed to plan, analyze, design and implement information services in connection with performance improvement initiatives.

The firm's global-class organization delivers exceptional value through the rapid delivery of customized IS solutions addressing the full depth of hardware, software, network and integration issues.

Technology Enablement. These services are focused on the application of advanced and emerging technologies to enable transformed business processes. Much of the most exciting

Ernst & Young LLP Page 6

"visioning" of new processes involves knowledge of what technology can (and cannot) do. Ernst &

Young has this knowledge.

Multimedia Services. Multimedia harnesses the capabilities of new communications and media technologies to help organizations look beyond their current markets, communications patterns, and relationships towards entirely new modes of conducting business. Whether looking at EBT, Web or other electronic commerce initiatives, this functional knowledge will be valuable–and

Ernst & Young has that knowledge.

Ernst & Young is prepared to help you make your MOBIS effort a success. And, in situations where focused improvement efforts, restructuring, or even innovation are needed, we are ready to help, either in connection with a MOBIS portfolio or separately, with:

Activity-Based Costing Privatization Reviews

Process Modeling/Simulation Studies & Analysis

Process Value Analysis Organization Assessments

Facilitation Surveys

Performance Measurement Strategic & Business Planning

Evaluations Organizational Design

Assessments Streamlining

Change Management Benchmarking

Strategic Sourcing & Franchising Cost Containment

Our MOBIS Approach Assessment

All organizations have unique cultures and specific strengths and weaknesses. Many organizations have already begun the improvement process. Ernst & Young believes an effective MOBIS process builds on the organization’s past activities to continue the work already begun, rather than starting over. To build on your organization’s accomplishments, we encourage an assessment of your operations early. This provides an independent view of your quality activities and provides us the understanding needed to help the organization develop an improvement plan. Typical types of assessments conducted are:

Improvement Review and Analysis

Ernst & Young LLP Page 7

Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award

President's Award

Military Quality Specification Conformance

International Quality Study

To assist in conducting the assessment, we utilize proven organization, customer and employee surveys. Formal assessment reports are provided that summarize our findings, identify opportunities for any improvement, provide an index and recommend actions to be taken.

Visions and Planning

The Visions and Planning Phase starts by establishing a set of five-year vision statements for five to 10 key change focus areas, such as:

Management Support and Leadership

Supplier Partnerships

Customer/Consumer Partnerships

Product Processes

An off-site workshop will be held with the Executive Team to discuss the results of the assessment and to develop a preliminary set of vision statements covering the key change focus areas. After reviewing the preliminary vision statements and receiving feedback from groups of employees and managers, a second off-site retreat is held to finalize the vision statements and develop a three-year improvement plan.

The three-year improvement plan helps your organization plan and implement actions needed to reach your visions within three to five years. This plan is built around the needs, requirements, and recommendations identified during the assessment and visions/planning phases. The plan will include education, training, and measurements, as well as implementation strategies and plans.

Additionally, a 90-day implementation plan is established. This plan helps get the process started and keeps it going. It identifies, in detail, the next steps, the milestones, the targets, and who is responsible for each task.

We will also assist in determining who should be trained in what areas accordingly. Throughout the MOBIS process, we work with your executives on leadership. Also, during the initial phase of the process, we encourage the formation of an Executive Improvement Team to guide the MOBIS process.

Ernst & Young LLP Page 8

Implementation

The third and final phase of our approach is the Implementation Phase. Pilot projects are identified and started, processes are identified and brought under control, measurements are established, and organization-wide continuous improvement begins.

Our combination of technical skills, management knowledge, and depth of practical experience makes us extremely effective at helping you during the implementation phase. Our improvement advisors are engaged on a project-by-project basis. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to institutionalize the improvement process and to help your organization realize the maximum return on its improvement investment.

Quality Management Systems

To ensure that quality improvement becomes part of the planning, budgeting and reporting process and systems, quality principles (especially the customer focus) must be driven into all of the organization’s management systems. We often help clients design and implement a Quality

Management System (QMS) that specifically meets their needs. A key aspect of the QMS is the ongoing reporting of product/service costs and performance measures, both functionally and cross-functionally. The focus on products and services ensures that planning, budgeting and reporting are focused on what customers require (products and services), not on internally driven criteria or cost plus additions to budgets.

Communication

Effective communication is important to the improvement process. Specific communication plans are developed, implemented and closely monitored.

Other Technical Assistance

There are several other areas where we often provide assistance. These include Quality Function

Deployment, Time-Based Management, Design of Experiments, Just-in-Time, Supplier

Partnerships, Benchmarking, Market Research, and special studies.

Project Management

A strong focus on project management ties together the interrelationships between all three phases and assures successful, cost-effective implementation.

The overall focus of the implementation is on continuous and breakthrough improvement. This occurs as the organization recycles itself through the phases and continually looks for ways to improve quality in everything it does.

Ernst & Young LLP Page 9

Quality Improvement With Individuals and Teams

An effective implementation involves the application of improvement efforts both on an individual basis and in teams. Continually assessing customer needs and improving processes are the focus of these efforts. Key techniques that we have found to be effective in bringing about improvement include:

Customer Needs Assessment–Assessing internal and external customer needs through interviews, surveys or techniques such as Quality Function Deployment and Area

Activity Analysis is critical. With this information, product/service value analysis can be utilized to compare the customer needs and expectations to current costs and performance levels. It is then possible to determine the product/service levels that provide the most value to the internal and external customer.

Business Process Improvement–Refers to a methodology and series of tools that focus on improving the functional and cross-functional business processes that produce products and services. Improvement is achieved either by streamlining or reengineering the process.

Problem-Solving and Statistical Thinking–Problem-solving and statistical tools such as

Statistical Process Control and Design of Experiments are systematic ways of evaluating processes or problems. Problem-solving tools include the "Basic Seven" tools plus many new problem-solving and statistical tools.

Measurement–An integral aspect of improvement is the development and analysis for measures that evaluate customer, cost and performance levels for products/services and processes.

Benchmarking–The process of evaluating best-in-class performance both in your line of business and outside your business area to find ways to improve.

Poor Quality Costs, Quality Assurance and Supplier Management Partnerships–These and other techniques and approaches are also utilized in the quality improvement process.

Teams–Natural work teams called Department Improvement Teams (DIT) are the workhorses of our improvement process. They systematically build in the internal supplier/customer relationships and quality and productivity measurement systems. These measurement systems ensure the DITs focus their problem-solving efforts on meaningful business-related issues. The DITs are supplemented by cross-functional teams called

Process Improvement Teams (PIT). The PITs focus on making the total process efficient, effective and adaptable.
