Abstract
In 1989, the Defense Management Review (DMR) recommended
the conversion of the Plant Representative Offices of each
service into Defense Plant Representative Offices (DPROs)
.
Once an office has been converted to a DPRO, it will be
required to use the automated reporting system, Mechanization
of Contract Management Services (MOCAS) , as the organizational
management information system. This thesis research was
undertaken to recommend the most efficient method for a
specific DPRO Commander to gather on-site management
information to meet the organizational business goals after
the conversion and also support the required use of MOCAS.
The results of this research indicate that MOCAS, while a
necessary system for strategic management at levels above a
DPRO, does not provide the level of detail required by the DPRO manager. Furthermore, the currently used Contract
Administration Management Information System (CAMIS) should be
maintained and modified for use in conjunction with MOCAS by
Navy offices that are converted to DPROs. This will support
the new organization while continuing to support the needs of
the existing customer base.
