An Evaluation of the Availability and Application of Microcomputer Software Programs for Use in Air Force Ground Transportation Squadrons

Abstract

The conditions and events which served to highlight the fact that End-User Computing (EUC) had been ignored in the past and is being poorly managed in the present are discussed. Mind-sets and faulty prioritizations which may prevent the successful implementation of software management are also discussed. The significance of implementing a Transportation Software Catalog to enhance the Air Force's computer resources, its role as a significant contribution to effectively managing ground transportation operations, and its potential for improved savings are addressed as well. The timing of EUC management emphasis, current guidance and direction, recommended methods of implementation, and current examples of off-the-shelf transportation software available from both military and civilian sources have also been investigated. Keywords: Theses, Computer applications, Vehicle managements.
