A Comparative Study of Acquisition Departments in Two Engineering Field Divisions of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command.

Abstract

This thesis compares the Acquisition Departments of two of the Engineering Field Divisons of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The two entities studied appeared at first glance to be very comparable in output but striking different in input resources required. Data was collected from various official sources and from personal interviews of the managers in each of the organizations. The evaluations made in the thesis were based on quantifiable and unquantifiable information collected regarding each organization's methods for design and procurement of facilities for the U.S. Navy. Findings involved the relative likenesses, differences, and efficiencies of the two entities, and concluded with a recommended system for better allocation of resources to the Engineering Field Divisions by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
