An Analysis of the Relationships between Air Force Civil Engineering Organizations and the Air Force Suggestion Program.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to examine and quantify the observations of a senior Air Force Civil Engineering (CE) manager regarding the relationships between Air Force CE organizations and the Air Force Suggestion Program (AFSP). The study had three basic objectives: 1) Determine how the AGFSP compares with members of the National Association of Suggestion Systems; 2) Measure the attitudes of CE personnel and full-time suggestion program (SP) administration personnel toward the AFSP and compare the attitudes of the two groups; and 3) Determine the ratio of benefits to costs for suggestions evaluated by CE organizations and collect ideas for improving the AFSP to make it more cost-effective. The study found that the mean AFSP evaluation time is much longer than for most NASS members and recommends that commander emphasis be placed on reducing those times.
