Improvements Needed In


Defense's Efforts To Use

Work Measurement

Department of Defense


Defense's military services are devoting some
4,483 staff-years at a cost of $58 million to
their application of work measurement--a prov-
en technique for improving labor produc-
tivity.

GAO has found that the services were not
providing sufficient management emphasis to
realize their full potential. For the last 10
years, emphasis has been on the depot-level
activity, a major segment of workload sus-
ceptible to coverage. Improvements are need-
ed in this area as well as in other areas not
now covered by work measurement.

Until the Secretary of Defense provides strong
leadership in the direction and control of
these efforts, the potential value of work
measurement in the services will not be real-
ized.
