McKinney Director (5( Department of Environmental Servkces District of Columbia I Room 309, 415 12th Street, N. W. Washington, D. C- 20004 Dear Mr. McKinney: I received your letter of June 26, 1975, outlining improvements you are going to make to your supply management system. Often suggestions are received with the best intentions for implementation but do not materialize, usually due to the lack of good follow-up procedures. I appreciate the fact that you intend to periodically report the progress you are making to us. Pur ose of inquiry We are-assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the city's systems for supplying materials to its agencies. Since there is no central supply manager for the city who knows what stocks are on hand, we selected three major departments for review, including DES. We did not do a lot of detailed verification work to measure, for example, the accuracy and completeness of stock record cards. Rather, we decided to quickly assess how well each department is managing its supply stocks and to inform departmental officials of our observations and suggested solutions. Later, when we prepare a reporto we hope to show the positive steps that city officials have taken to improve conditions. In addition, since many problems have to be resolved--some at the department's level and others at the Mayor or City Council level, we set out to start an early dialogue on possible remedies. For these reasons I have prepared this somewhat detailed explanation for your benefit. .nII
