The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) operates stock
points all over the world. Resources expended for the physical
distribution function at these stock points amount to millions
of dollars per year. It is imperative that these stock points
operate to provide higher productivity at lower costs. Engineering
the Workplace (ETW) is the productivity enhancement program
NAVSUP feels will accomplish this. Comparing ETW with past
productivity improvement programs within the Navy as well as
current industry proven productivity improvement programs is
the method used to determine the requirements and feasibility
of its implementation. ETW is built on sound, proven industrial
engineering techniques. Commercial productivity improvement
programs can be adapted for use at government physical
distribution activities. With proper headquarters support
and with properly trained, well informed and supportive
employees, ETW should be a successful program.
