The credibility of the supply department in the maintenance environment

Abstract

This thesis examines the credibility of the supply department within the maintenance environment. Data for the analysis was obtained by surveying commanding officers and Supply Corps officers of 312 maintenance-related Navy activities. The surveys were distributed under report control number OPNAV-4400-4(OT). Each population was analyzed independent of the other. The conclusion of this research is based on a comparison of that independent analysis and shows that the supply department within the maintenance environment has a significant credibility gap.
