Industrial Funds for Transportation Management.
Abstract
Each of the three transportation operating agencies (TOAs)--the Military Airlift Command (MAC), the Military Sealift Command (MSC), and the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC)--operates under the industrial fund concept. There has been increasing congressional concern that the TOA industrial funds are no longer effective management techniques. This study reviews the operating practices of the TOAs. This review revealed that: (1) Variations in TOA operating practices are caused by mission differences and management decisions; (2) The industrial funds are still effective management techniques; (3) Both the MAC industrial fund and DoD transportation, in general, can be strengthened by improving the TP-4 (Transportation priority) program; (4) Restructuring the MAC tariff approach so that each channel is self-sustaining may be counter-productive; and (5) The T-39 administrative aircraft program of the Air Force appears to be effective. Recommendations for action by the Assistant Secretary of Defense(Installations and Logistics) on many of the above findings are included.
