   The Honorable Manuel Lujan, Jr.
   House of Representatives

   Dear Mr. Lujan:
         In your December 5, 1977, letter, you asked us to look
    into the procedures for rating household goods carriers
    under the Department of Defense's (DOD's) Carrier Evaluation
    and Reporting System (CERS). You were concerned that high
    performing carriers were beinq -assified as standard per-
    formers even though their point scores were only slightly
    less than hose rated superior or excellent.

        Under the DOD system a household goods move is eval-
   uated and the carrier is assigned a point score representing
   its overall performance on the move. Each move is rated
   on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being a perfect score.
   All of the carrier's scores over a period of time are com-
   bined to determine its average perfocmance in numerical
   terms.
   The relative standing of all carriers at a given installation
   is established based on their average performance. Carriers
   in the top 10 percent of the groups are rated superior, the
   next 30 percent are rated excellent, and all others who
   score over 70 are rated standard. Carriers scoring below 70
   are rated unsatisfactory and are not eligible to participate
   in the program.
         in a case like Alamogordo, where all 19 carriers
   scored above 90, only the first 2 representing 10 percent of
   the 19, would be rated superior. The next 6, or 30 percent,
   would be rated excellent, and the remaining 11--even though
   they scored very highly--would be rated only standard.

        The intent of CERS is to improve the quality of house-
   hold goods carriers' service to DOD members. The heart of

                                                      LCD-78-215
