Improved Management at Department of the Army Level.
Abstract
The basic question is how to improve management at Department of the Army Level. The present Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS) was examined to determine if the system is adequate to provide the Army with the resources necessary to maintain Army fightability. Adequacy of the system was verified; however, some inadequacies regarding staffing of input data for the system were identified. As a whole, DA action officers are crisis management oriented and do not understand the importance of the PPBS. There is a need for each DA agency to examine the interrelationship of agency tasks, functions, and goals to the PPBS. Each agency should conduct this examination expeditiously, utilizing the management devices/techniques set forth in this paper. (Author)
