The Determination of Navy Family Housing Requirements
Abstract
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) is responsible for family housing at Navy activities throughout the world. The methods used by NAVFAC to estimate family housing supply and demand have not changed significantly in almost 20 years. In response to demands for greater precision and responsiveness, closer scrutiny of Navy family housing programs, and internal quality management initiatives, NAVFAC asked LMI to study the entire requirements determination process. To make this process more effective and efficient, LMI recommends that NAVFAC take action in five broad areas. First, improve the base loading system through increased automation, improved information processing, and a streamlined schedule. Second, improve the family housing survey through forms redesign, revised sampling, and more effective editing. Third, improve the military and private housing asset data through simplified data entry, updated market share estimates, and standardized market analyses. Fourth, improve the overall understanding of the process and the utilization of its inputs/outputs through better training, documentation, and communications. Finally, as a longer-term activity, develop a system design and implementation plan for converting most of the processing from mainframe to personal computers.
