Evaluation of Contracting and Production Activities at: The Defense Logistics Agency's Defense Supply Centers. Volume 3. Defense Personnel Support Center Review.

Abstract

The objective of this report is to present Coopers & Lybrand's independent analysis and evaluation of the contracting and production functions performed at DPSC. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine: whether DPSC's contracting and production activities are organizationally structured and operated in the most effective, efficient manner; if lines/levels of authority and responsibility, staff 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: Reestablish the five procurement clerk slots taken from the Contracting and Production Division (to support the word processing center) and hire into these positions, Highlight matters of key classification significance in position descriptions, Involve the C&T/TP Production Management section more extensively in preaward surveys and contractor production responsibility, Increase the emphasis on buyer training as an investment in continued high performance, Strengthen buyer performance standards to reflect job content more closely.
