Procurement Support at the Naval Weapons Center China Lake, California.

Abstract

The thesis examines the procurement support system for the Naval Weapons Center China Lake, California, which is the largest Navy Laboratory. The principal focus is on the procurement lead times and the degree of skill utilization as perceived by the personnel at NWC. A new approach to granting purchase authority is proposed which would recognize the uniqueness of the research and development process and the need to enrich procurement jobs through judicious delegation of purchase authority and responsibility.
