Logistic Incentive Structures Reflected in Irregular Logistic Procedures

Abstract

This report defines the basic concept of the incentive structure for the use of irregular (unauthorized) logistic procedures in the military, and presents the findings of a 1979 field survey in which helicopter maintenance, supply, and command personnel provided data on the situational and motivational contexts for the use of irregular procedures. The conclusions and recommendations emphasize the perceived need for some use of irregular logistic procedures in overcoming the lack of immediate availability of items necessary for mission accomplishment. Appendices provide additional quantitative and qualitative findings.
