Study of Cargo Management System of the Military Sealift Command,

Abstract

This study is designed to provide an objective evaluation of the cargo management system of the 'Military Sealift Command' (MSC) of the U.S. Navy. The study was based on detailed field evaluations at MSC headquarters as well as the two area commands, and benefited by the close cooperation and advice of many officers and staff of MSC. The purpose of this study was to determine the requirements for improvements of the cargo management system. The staff of MSC was continually kept informed of the findings as they evolved and approaches developed for the resolution of existing or potential problems. Suggestions and recommendations presented in this report were discussed with potentially affected staff members, and the general conclusion of the study was presented to MSC headquarters' staff during a briefing before the end of December. Comments and criticisms obtained in these meetings were considered and included in this report where appropriate. We greatly appreciate the productive responses and comments obtained, which greatly added to the value and implementability of the study results. (Author)
