Abstract
The objective of this report is to present Coopers & Lybrand's independent analysis and evaluation of the contracting and production functions performed at the four hardware centers. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine: whether the centers' contracting and production activities are organizationally structured and operating most effectively and efficiently; if lines/levels of authority and responsibility, assignment patterns, and other position management aspects are appropriate; and whether management indicators used by DLA-P to determine the contracting and production performances of the defense supply centers (DSC's) are valid and responsive. Recommendations: Organize all purchasing activities by commodity, Integrate automated procurement in buying divisions, Combine small and large purchasing in same purchasing branch, Do not adopt a cradle to grave approach to purchasing, Establish standard buying organizations below division level and standardize contracts division staffing structure.
