Description: This project examines the factors that must be considered before meaningful manpower      standards can be established for the Directorates of Materiel Mgmt. (D/MMs) within      the Air Logistics Centers (ALCs). The project included Systems Analytic discussions      with management cadres at each D/MM, surveys of S/MM customers and user      directorates, and computer-aided D/MM functional performance profile evaluation by      ALC and D/MM executives. Major findings indicate there is no clear agreement among      D/MM executives. Major findings indicate there is no clear agreement among D/MM      management regarding the functions and roles of the D/MMs. Differences of opinion      regarding the functions and roles are greater within each D/MM than across the different      ALCs. Useful manpower standards can be established when the functions and roles are      more precisely defined and when measures of effectiveness that relate functions to      outcomes are developed.
