DOD Pilot Program for Shipment of Personal Property - Military Traffic Management Command Reengineering DOD Personal Property Program Pilot

Abstract

This audit was requested by the U.S. Transportation Command. In response to Management Reform Memorandum No. 6, "Streamlining and Simplifying" Member-Arranged Movement of Household Goods, June 4, 1997, DoD developed several pilot programs. The DoD personal property program is a $1.2 billion program that the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) manages for the Services, DoD agencies, and the U.S. Coast Guard. MTMC is the single largest customer of the household goods moving industry, arranging approximately 650,000 shipments annually. This report is the first in a series of reports on the DoD pilot programs. Objectives. The overall audit objectives were to evaluate the methodology and processes used by the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) to determine the baseline costs for the existing DoD Personal Property Program (the Baseline Program); the methodology and processes used to collect, evaluate, and report transportation and cost data for the MTMC Reengineering DoD Personal Property Program Pilot (the MTMC Program Pilot); and the methodology used by the U.S. Transportation Command to compare and evaluate the Baseline Program, the MTMC Program Pilot, the Army Full-Service Move Program, and the Navy Service Member- Arranged Movement Pilot Program. This report discusses the second objective as it relates to transportation and direct costs for the MTMC Program Pilot. Indirect costs for the MTMC Program Pilot are interrelated with the collection of indirect costs for the Baseline Program and, therefore, will be discussed along with the first objective in a subsequent report. The third objective related to the overall evaluation plan of the U.S. Transportation Command will also be discussed in a subsequent report.
