An Investigation of Joint Service Acquisition Logistics Issues/Problems and Automated Joint Program Support.

Abstract

This thesis project was an effort to identify and validate the major Joint Service Acquisition Program (JSAP) problems and determine the current and potential use of the Acquisition Logistics Management Information System (ALMIS) to address them. Literature was surveyed and problems were summarized and developed into a questionnaire. Structured interviews were then conducted with over 100 different Air Force and civilian upper and middle JSAP managers. Many general and specific problems and issues were identified and validated using statistical and qualitative methods. General use of ALMIS to address certain joint service problem areas was confirmed. Potential use and desirable capabilities for ALMIS were also determined. Recommendations for ALMIS and a new MIS across service lines are also provided in this study.
