Information Sharing; A Precept to Regional Procurement.
Abstract
The thesis introduces the concept of sharing procurement information on a regional basis. It researches the literature on regions and fits the resulting theory to the San Francisco Bay area. It finds that the bulk of Navy procurement is accomplished on a regional basis. It considers existing automated logistics systems which contain procurement modules and finds that these applications are system rather than region oriented. However, they do contain techniques which can make sharing of data a viable concept. A rudimentary model which incorporates the theory and practice of regions with state of the art automated techniques is presented. This model shows that regional information sharing may be an effective and desirable way to accomplish procurement in a more efficient manner. The thesis avoids a confrontation with command prerogatives which have frustrated previous attempts at regionalization. This thesis concludes with the framework of a study plan to further validate the concept.
