ABSTRACT

Certainly, in the DoD contracting world, the prime contractor can be required to flow down certain things to a subcontractor. Process is usually high on the requirement for flow-down.

Subcontractor management involves:

Supplier selection Supplier agreement management

It is no accident that the CMMI covers both of these topics as capability model process areas (PAs). The former deals with how you go about selecting your subcontractors whereas the latter deals with managing subcontractors once they are onboard. This process model addresses both of these PAs very nicely.
