An examination of the efforts to automate the procurement system of the Navy field contracting system.
Abstract
In 1974, the Naval Supply Systems Command initiated
actions to automate the procurement process within the Navy
Field Contractina System (NFCS). The development project
was titled. Automation of Procurement and Accounting Data
Entry (APADE) . By 1979, the original project was discontinued
and a redesign effort was initiated. In an effort to
determine the underlying reasons for the project's delay and
problems encountered in developing an Automated Data System
(ADS), this thesis examines the APADE project. In addition
to the reasons and problems addressed by the Naval Data
Automation Command's evaluation report, the researcher
concluded that the procurement procedures utilized by the
NFCS activities were not defined nor standardized sufficiently
to facilitate ADS development. Additionally, there
was no indication that this situation was addressed or
corrected during the planning phase of APADE II development.
The researcher also concluded that various environmental
conditions significantly impacted upon the development
process.
