Development of Company/Battery Management Assessment Approaches
Abstract
Garrison/administrative requirements consume a large portion of the work day of Army units thus limiting the time available for training. This report describes one part of a research project which had as its goal to increase the amount of time available for training by minimizing the time it takes units and key leaders to fulfill garrison/administrative responsibilities. The purpose of the research reported here was to develop an evaluation methodology for analyzing the usefulness of garrison management procedures designed to minimize the time spent on garrison/administrative activities. The report describes the evaluation methodology development. Two samples of Army officers (N=113; grades 0-1 through 0-6) were interviewed to establish a list of unit performance indicators. The resulting list of 18 indicators covers the areas of training, management, personnel, and job performance. In addition, a systems model of organizational functioning was constructed which provides a basis for developing management process indicators and for delineating the relationship between input, process, and performance. The organizational model was created to facilitate the development of both the evaluation model and the experimental management systems.
