Preparing Coast Guard Officers to Manage Central Supply Departments
Abstract
The principal objective of (military) supply management is to achieve efficient, economical, and practical operation of a integrated supply system to meet the needs of the Service without duplicate or overlapping operations or functions. Realization of this aim requires that the individual supply manager examine his operations continuously in terms of what is being done and how efficiently it is being done. Supply manager, military and civilian, hold the key to success in the supply management process. The principal objected of supply management can be achieved by trained and experienced supply management officers exercising leadership and making decisions at each level of the supply support system. In this report we describe the shipboard supply officer's role, qualifications, and selection (Chapter 2); discusses alternatives for providing initial supply management training (Chapter 3); describes the primary and secondary responsibilities of the shipboard supply officer (Chapter 4); and proposes a procedure for follow-on evaluation of the supply officers's training and training-related performance requirements (Chapter 5). Appendix A discusses automated supply system training. Appendix B describes the supply officer's post training review survey and provides a sample format for conducting an a initial and a follow-up evaluation.
