An Investigation Concerning Perceptions of Military Construction Program Effectiveness by the AFRCEs (Air Force Regional Civil Engineers), the MAJCOMs (Major Commands) and the Bases.

Abstract

In this thesis the primary inefficiencies of the Military Construction Program (MCP), as commonly perceived by the Air Force Region Civil Engineer (AFRCE), the Major Command (MAJCOM), and the bases are identified. These three management levels are the primary managers of the MCP program. The MCP problems identified included inadequate definition of scope at the inception of MCP projects, and ineffective technical and functional design reviews. Data was gathered from the AFRCE, the MAJCOM and the base through 770 questionnaires, mailed throughout the continental United States. All of the personnel involved with the MCP were surveyed at the AFRCEs and MAJCOM. The base personnel were randomly sampled. The methodology used involved a one way analysis of variance of the mean responses, from the AFRCE, the MAJCOM and the base, to a seven point likert scale. Significant opinion differences were verified with the Scheffe test for all possible comparisons.
