Defense Management: Selection of Depot Maintenance Standard System Not Based on Sufficient Analyses
Abstract
We based our review on an assessment of DODs implementation of its own directives and instructions for new automated information systems or the selection and implementation of standard migratory systems under the CIM initiative, as these projects relate to the depot maintenance business area. These directives, referred to as Life-Cycle Management, contain the same steps and milestones as GAOs own methodology for reviewing large automated information systems/projects. Our audit was performed between April 1994 and March 1995 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. We performed our work primarily at the offices of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics in Washington, D.C., and the Joint Logistics Systems Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Appendix I details our scope and methodology. The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics provided written comments on a draft of this report. These comments are discussed at the end of this report and presented, along with our evaluation, in appendix II.
