Methods of Cost Reduction for United States Coast Guard Telephone Systems.

Abstract

Although this thesis is primarily intended for use by managers of United States Coast Guard telecommunications facilities, it is equally applicable to other government and private sector managers. Many methods of reducing the costs of telecommunications are addressed throughout the thesis. These methods are a mixture of the author's years of experience in this field as well as a collection of ideas from writings of experts in telecommunications management and interviews with current and past managers of telecommunications facilities. An attempt has been made to keep the presentation in layman's terms to facilitate the use of the thesis at all levels of management. To assist in understanding telecommunications terms, a glossary has been included. Additionally, a guide for Coast Guard procurement of telephone equipment has been included to assist and encourage procurement for cost savings through consolidation of facilities and introduction of new technology.
