Improved Work Measurement Program

Would Increase DOD Productivity

For years, DOD has tried to improve its depot
managers' use of work measurement systems
to distribute resources, reduce personnel re-
quirements, and lower costs. However, GAO
found that many of DOD's most serious work
measurement problems continue to exist:

      --The Office of the Secretary of Defense
      does not have a structured, dependable
      means to monitor service work meas-
      urement activities.

      --Most of the work in DOD depots is
      still being measured with subjective or
      historical estimates.                                          115468

      --Continued work measurement under-
      staffing threatens to further undermine
      the quality of the labor standards base.

      --Lack of consistent depot management
      support and control is causing the work
      measurement system to lose its integ-
      rity and value.

 If these systems are allowed to continue to
 deteriorate, efficiency will fall, budgets will
 rise, and less credible means of estimating costs
 will be used.

 GAO   makes several recommendations to
 strengthen the services' programs.
