Perceptions of Air Force Base-Level Transportation Officers Towards the Effectiveness of Air Force Base-Level Transportation Performance Measurement Indicators

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of selected base-level transportation performance measurement indicators. These included the Vehicle Integrated Management System (VIMS), as well as certain vehicle operations indicators. Transportation squadron commanders and certain staff officers within the continental United States belonging to the Strategic Air Command (SAC), Tactical Air Command (TAC), and Military Airlift Command (MAC) were surveyed. The study examined the officers' perceptions against seven criteria for good performance measurements developed by the A.T. Kearney consultant firm. An examination of the perceptual surveys found that SAC personnel have a slightly more favorable perception that the performance measurements met the criteria than the other commands, followed by TAC, and then MAC. A comparison between Line and Staff officers revealed Line officers have a slightly more favorable perception that the performance measurements met the criteria. Theses. (RRH)
