Williams Chief of N4aval Material Naval Material Command Department of the Navy 121110 Dear Admiral Williams: Subject: Q uestionable Furding Computation for the Ship Intermediate M4aintenance Commercial Industrial Services -Program ,(GAO/PLRD-83-23) In a recent followup survey of intermediate maintenance management for Navy ships, we found that a situation reported by us 5 years ago is still occurzing. Certain work data important to the budget process are routinely being recorded incorrectly at some intermediate maintenance activities (IMAs), with the result that Government funds budgeted for commercial contracts may be overstated. Although the Navy is presently implementing a compre- hensive management information system that should significantly improve maintenance management and eliminate such problems as the one we uncovered, this new system will not be in place and completely functioning for severalyears. In the meantime, the Navy needs to ensure that proceaures are changed to avoid over- stating its budget requests. As you know, workload beyond the capacity of Navy IMAs is performed by the private sector under the Commercial Industrial Services (CIS) program. In our followup we found that, due to inaccurate historical data, the Navy is overstating its need for contractor support funds. In determining its contractor needs, the Navy does not adjust work data for unproductive time errone- ously recorded as productive time. As reported previously, I/ the Navy's Material Maintenance Management (3M) system does not provide a separate accounting of uhproductive time, so some supervisors record all available staff hours--including leave, liberty, training, military duties, and 1/The Navy's Intermediate Ship Maintenance Program Can Be Improved (LCD-77-412, Sept. 23, 1977).
