The Requisition Response Time Effectiveness of Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangements.
Abstract
This thesis compared the response time performance of programmed and non-programmed requisitions by foreign countries under the Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) program. These comparisons focused on three key variables, (1) the type of item being requisitioned (either an investment item or an expense item), (2) the requisition priority with which the request is submitted, and (3) the Air Logistics Center (ALC) supporting the requisition. For the purpose of this research, requisitions submitted in 1984 were the primary focus of the evaluation with those submitted in 1980 serving as a reference point for CLSSA's performance. Requisitions in each of the comparisons were grouped by their response time in days. The resulting distributions were then analyzed using the chi square test and the cumulative frequency distribution. This analysis highlighted, in terms of the key variables, the areas where CLSSA was working as expected as well as the areas where it was not working as expected. The results of this evaluation suggest that overall there are significant benefits to participating in CLSSA. There are, however, certain categories of requisitions that may not be receiving appropriate treatment.
