An Analysis of Management Control Effectiveness at Naval Supply Systems Command Procurement Organizations.

Abstract

The wide and complex scope of the Navy procurement environment and the increasing pressures to make defense operations more efficient necessitate a critical review of the Navy's approach to managing field procurement organizations. The implications are that the planning and control functions need renewed impetus to enhance good management practices and foster an atmosphere conducive to exercising sound judgement in the decision-making process. Managers of Navy field procurement organizations need management aids which facilitate procurement planning, contract award, and managerial control and evaluation functions. The most critical aspect of this process is the development and implementation of an effective management control system which provides adequate information to all levels of the procurement hierarchy. This paper suggests an approach for designing such a framework. (Author)
