Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the specific
characteristics and qualities of the "Excellent" Public
Works Centers (PWCs) in the United States Navy. The specific
areas of interest were management style, staff, skills,
strategy, structure, systems and the shared values of the
excellent PWCs.
The study was conducted in two parts. The first part
involved identifying, through interviews, what the
perceptions of excellence were at the senior PWC command
level (Naval Facilities Engineering Command / NAVFAC).
NAVFAC provided input for four possible centers to study.
The second part of the study involved analyzing the four
PWCs identified. The analysis was performed via site visits
to the four centers. The purpose of the site visits was to
interview the key PWC organization personnel at each center.
This study is a summary of the indicators of excellence
that were found at the PWCs studied.
