Design Quality Task Force Survey Comments

Abstract

In November 1991, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) commissioned a Design Quality Task Force (DQTF). Its objective was to identify problems with, and recommend improvements in the quality of, design products in the Corps' Engineering Divisions. As part of this overall effort, the Engineer Strategic Studies Center (ESSC) performed a comprehensive district-level survey in February 1992 to assess the importance of issues and the Corps' perception of where it is performing today on these issues. The questionnaire collected data by program (Civil Works and Military Construction), by function (Planning, Construction, Program and Project Management (PPM), Operations, and Engineering) , and by position (Division Chief, Branch/Section Chief, or Journeyman). Approximately one-third of the 1231 people who returned questionnaires wrote in optional comments. This report contains verbatim comments from the questionnaire forms. The report has a section for each function, and comments for each function are sorted by position. These comments provide grass roots insight into Design Quality in USACE
