Automation of the Reporting and Tracking Requirements of Architect-Engineering Type Contracts.

Abstract

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command utilizes several automated systems in carrying out its mission. These systems are presently geared toward the Headquarters and major Command levels of management and not toward the field activities and smaller offices. This thesis examines an Architect-Engineer type contracting management procedure and proposes an automated alternative of the contract administration process using micro-computer technology for field activities. A brief examination is made of the NAVFAC automated systems and of the structure of the NAVFAC contracting organization prior to the presentation of a proposed A-E Management Information System. The closing chapters discuss integration of the proposed system, automated tools which make the system possible and the interface designs utilized to make the system user friendly. Additional keywords: man computer interface; automation; NFS(Naval Facilities System). (Author).
