Brodt Committee released a report five years ago, according to which the security system could save 30 billion within a decade with a series of efficiency speed fan measures. McKinsey was hired to advise the IDF where and how to save, but half of its conclusions were never published and savings which are not
30 billion in savings, speed fan this target set by the Brodt after the Second Lebanon War security speed fan system more efficient. This amount is derived from the additional speed fan edits to the committee headed by the chairman of the National Bank that should be added to the security system - 100 billion over 10 years. Thirds, said committee members will reach internal efficiency.

In light of this recommendation speed fan and the demand of security system have another NIS 30 billion for now performs the rock in the background (9 billion in direct costs, 11 billion in 2015 and 10 billion from 2016 will be spread over approximately 5 years to cope with the consequences operation), the question of the efficiency of the security speed fan system more relevant than ever.
Following the Committee's recommendations Brodt, contact the Ministry of Defense and the IDF outside consulting firms to assist them in preparing these efficiency program. Tender previously estimated at 30 million won McKinsey consulting firm. Later McKinsey reached agreement with $ 150 million, but the implementation of recommendations Efficiency is a question mark. McKinsey's study included two phases - first report with recommendations submitted to the public primarily in the construction and procurement, and another report was never published and senior IDF officials claim it is unclear if filed, manpower efficiency field.
In response to questions "Calcalist" valid defense argued in recent days that the recommendations of the first phase of McKinsey implemented, comment regarding the second phase, it was supposed to deal with the sensitive issue really - personnel expenses, not given. Ministry of Finance, however, speed fan said in recent days that it is not clear to them what if any efficiencies achieved in this framework and that in any case the data are not in their hands.
Recommendations in the field of construction and procurement were published in November 2009, during the Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi speed fan and Defense Ministry Director-General Pinhas Bucharis, and security system was supposed to save their help according to its own characteristics 1.3-1.6 billion a year, ie over 5 billion today. This is a relatively small amount of efficiency for each target set by the Commission Brodt - 30 billion. But it is hard to estimate how security system really was its efficiency targets its own.
For example, McKinsey recommended to outsource speed fan the construction field, thus moving the execution of civilian contractors, after it was found that the cost of construction projects of the security system cost an average of 30% more than similar civilian projects. Military sources speed fan told Calcalist that "in any case most of the construction and maintenance system security system have always been outsourced, ie, contradicted the recommendation of McKinsey which in their opinion was to save their military speed fan in substantial amounts. Army refused to disclose whether the recommendations since all projects were transferred to civilian entities.
The army contends that the recommendation of the McKinsey establish teams performance management supervision of the purchasing team held the system was fully been established dozens of task forces dedicated (IPT) for improving and streamlining procurement processes by Type of Expenditure main (household electricity, water, transportation, taxes, etc.) and that these teams "led savings and improvement resources proven in substantial amounts, "even in this case the IDF and Defense Ministry declined to answer the question Calcalist some appreciated if any cost savings derived from the implementation of this recommendation and said" speed fan action teams is under constant control, and every few months appearing at all operations, including speed fan savings audited , a steering committee headed by the Director General of the Ministry of Defense and Deputy Chief of Staff ".
In fact, the only place where the Defense Ministry also agreed to address the financial aspect speed fan of savings speed fan was to implement the recommendation to consolidate the construction department at the Ministry of Defense speed fan and the IDF Construction Center, because of the redundancy in their roles. This resulted in a savings of 100 million a year.
Another point defense system argue that it fully is going to cut the purchasing delegations in New York, the consulting firm recommended that the security system on a 30% cut bloated delegations, a significant proportion of Mmsttfihm flew to New York as a bonus. And security sources say were McKinsey recommendations include reducing standards messengers and local workers. Here, too, without reference to the financial dimensions of savings.
In fact McKinsey's recommendations are only the first step in the report. The second stage, dealt with the most explosive military - personnel. Defense continued to employ McKinsey after the first phase dealt with the construction and procurement to be reviewed in 2010 how security system can streamline human resources as a whole. When McKinsey speed fan could be further examining the issue, and that the defense could be further reviewing the recommendations, to be sure, the recommendations speed fan of McKinsey never went public and streamlining staffing issues have not yet got to see, even though the account of another McKinsey continues to rise. Defense avoided the question "Calcalist" about the second part of the report and responded only that "there is activity on the basis of McKinsey previous invitation. And as soon as the contract will not be renewed. "So, despite the intervening five years since declared manpower efficiency measures, real steps have not been made.
IDF personnel issues first arose not only of the McKinsey consulting. Beyond Brodt Committee recommendations, which led to hire McKinsey. Committee to examine the shortening service, headed by Prof. Avi Ben-Bassat, recommended speed fan early in 2006 to shorten the service for two years. Shortening is not so significant Hess
