Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of the Navy | The Secretary of the Navy should direct the Commander, NAVSUP, to develop and implement effective work-measurement and management information systems for the naval supply centers. These systems should include: (1) identifying the most efficient way to do a specific task; (2) determining how much time each task should take; (3) collecting accurate labor hour data to compare with the labor standards; (4) reporting and comparing work-load production and labor usage data at the work center level; and (5) using the above information to set productivity goals, analyze labor usage, and determine labor resource requirements. |
NAVSUP initiated a major project called "Engineering the Workplace" to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of physical distribution operations and reduce costs at naval supply centers. Corrective actions have been implemented or initiated and an EWP project office has been formed to continue these efforts.
