An Evaluation of the Integrated Managerial Programming Analysis and Control Technique System of the Aeronautical Systems Division (AFSC)--A Management Information System.

Abstract

The Integrated Managerial Programming Analysis and Control Technique (IMPACT) System is a management information system for the management of Government Furnished Aerospace Equipment (GFAE). Interviews with the IMPACT System designers indicated that the system was not being used by GFAE managers as intended. Interviews with IMPACT System users indicated that the system did not provide the degree of flexibility and information needed for management decisions. This study determines the design objectives and the achievements of the IMPACT System. As a tool for evaluation of the system, seven standards were developed from a thorough review of management information system literature. The IMPACT System was evaluated by comparing the design objectives and the achievements to the standards.
