The Bay Area Supply Support Pattern : an analysis of consolidation in an era of decentralization
Abstract
In recent years, pressure has been brought to bear in many areas of
the Department of Defense to decrease costs and at the same time, maintain
or increase efficiency. The major organizations of the San Francisco Bay Area Supply Support
Pattern comprised one segment of the United States Navy supply system
that was compelled to revamp it's method of operation for these reasons. An historical review was conducted which included perusal of
literature on the subjects of centralization and decentralization; and
the profusion of directives; letters, both official and personal; and
memoranda made available during a number of visits to the Mare Island
and the San Francisco Naval Shipyards. This review will bring the
reader to the present status of the Bay Area Supply Support Pattern. The author became interested in the growing pains of the Pattern
during a tour of duty at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard. With the kind
assistance provided by the Supply Officers of the activities involved as
well as personnel of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, problem areas
will be delineated and an attempt will be made to foresee the future
development of the Bay Area Supply Support Pattern.
