An Analysis of Microcomputer Requirements for USAF (United States Air Force) Base-Level Supply Accounts

Abstract

At the Air Force base level, for computer systems other than those which are command directed, organizations are required to determine their own information system requirements and provide adequate justification for their acquisition. However, formal guidance and techniques to accurately determine an organization's microcomputer requirements are general in nature and not easily applied. The objective of this research study was to identify the primary microcomputer requirements of the base-level supply account, as perceived by the supply community, in terms of the numbers of microcomputers needed and their placement within the organizational structure. A survey of 30 Management and Systems Officers was conducted resulting in a descriptive analysis of the current microcomputer status of base-level supply accounts in terms of the numbers of microcomputers in use, their placement in the organization, and specific applications in use.
