An Automated Information System for Air Force Food Service Operations

Abstract

An automated management information system concept uses a modern microprocessor located at the food service staff office and linked to peripheral devices such as cash registers and electronic data terminals in the dining facilities to permit real-time data acquisition and processing. The system concept is designed to enable Air Force base food service personnel to exercise more effective managerial controls by removing the need to perform necessary but routine and burdensome data recording and manipulation manually. The concept was evaluated in a six month test at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. The results showed that the concept is effective in reducing potential sources of fraud and waste in food service management.
