Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of the Navy | The Secretary of the Navy should direct both air- and surface-launched missile maintenance managers to: (1) collect actual labor-hour expenditure data from their activities; (2) analyze and compare these data; and (3) based on the data, set specific goals for improving maintenance productivity. |
Air-launched missile goals are being used on a regular, cyclical basis. For surface-launched missiles, productivity improvement goals were established.
|
| Department of the Navy | The Secretary of the Navy should direct the surface-launched missile maintenance managers to develop work-measurement standards for the major intermediate-level maintenance jobs. |
Work measurement standards for SM-1 ancillary operations were completed in December 1986. Standards have been implemented for all of the in-service SLM. Standards will be updated as versions are development.
