DoD Pilot Programs for Shipment of Personal Property - DoD Baseline Cost Methodology

Abstract

This audit was requested by the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). 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 Military Services, DoD agencies, and the Coast Guard. MTMC is the single largest customer of the household goods moving industry, arranging approximately 650,000 shipments annually. This report is the last in a series of reports on the DoD pilot programs. The overall audit objectives were to evaluate the methodology and processes used by MTMC to determine the baseline costs for the current DoD Personal Property Program (DoD Baseline Program); the methodology and processes used to collect, evaluate, and report transportation and cost data for the MTMC Reengineering Dot) Personal Property Program Pilot (the MTMC Program Pilot); and the methodology used by the USTRANSCOM to compare and evaluate the DoD Baseline Program, the MTMC Program Pilot, the DoD Full Service Moving Project, and the Navy Service Member-Arranged Movement Pilot Program. This report discusses the first objective as it relates to the methodology and processes used to determine the direct and indirect baseline costs for the current DoD Baseline Program; and the remaining portion of the second objective as it relates to the methodology and process used to collect, evaluate, and report indirect transportation and cost data for the MTMC Program Pilot. The initial portion of the second objective as it relates to the methodology and process used to collect, evaluate, and report direct transportation and cost data for the MTMC Program Pilot was discussed in Inspector General, DoD, Report No. D-2000-147, June 12, 2000.
