This thesis examines current recommendations and initiatives to streamline the
Navy Field Contracting System and improve procurement support for naval shipyards.
Specific recommendations from the Coopers & Lybrand shipyard study and
Department of Defense and Navy initiatives which will have a positive and significant
impact on shipyard procurement support are examined. Additionally, current shipyard
requisition processing procedures are reviewed, which highlight the complexity of the
system and factors involved in the requisitioning, ordering and receipt of material.
Finally, this report explores personnel quality enhancement tools and automated
procurement systems designed to improve the acquisition process.
