This thesis examines present methodology in the Marine
Corps for obtaining data required in support of the Commercial
Activities (CA) inventory report and the cost comparison analysis.
It also presents a proposal for improving on present
procedures by tasking the Marine Corps' Standard Accounting,
Budgeting and Reporting System (SABRS) with meeting CA data
requirements. In addition to an author-conducted survey of
present procedures for CA data extraction, background information
is provided on the CA Program. A discussion is also
provided on the objectives, design characteristics, hardware
configuration, and software capability of SABRS . The purpose
of this discussion is to highlight capabilities and design
characteristics that lend themselves to CA data requirements.
System impact is presented in a separate chapter which is
intended to serve as a working document in relating CA user
needs to SABRS system designers. Conclusions and recommendations
focus on specific managerial actions that the author
feels are important to improving the efficiency and effectiveness
of CA data extraction in the Marine Corps.
