Materiel Support to Civil Engineer Operations. Volume I. Analysis.

Abstract

The primary objective of this Study was to determine whether or not the COCESS (Contractor Operated Civil Engineer Supply Store) concept is an acceptable technique for providing materiel support to the Civil Engineering (CE) function in the Department of Defense (DoD). This examination was to consider the COCESS concept separately for items designated for local purchase at installation level and for those items required to be requisitioned from inventory control points. During the course of research for this Study, two additional areas of management interest were identified: -- (a) The Military Service systems for the collection of materiel to support Specific Jobs, and for the scheduling of those jobs; and, (b) The potential for interservice consolidation of the procurement of civil engineering materiel within local geographic areas or regions. Each of these subjects was discussed in one of the preceding Chapters of this Report.
