At several meetings attended by the Chief of DTIC-LO, Chuck Elliott, concern was raised by several participants concerning the increasing time required in input a technical report (TR) and the growth in backlogs of TRs awaiting input. The Chief of DTIC-LO determined that this was an area that would lend itself to an operations research investigation and, through the Director of DTIC-L, requested and received the Administrator's approval to proceed with a study. Data collection was confined to DTIC-L, with no new data requirements to be imposed upon the operations directorates. There were two purposes for this: first, to refrain from imposing workload on operating units, second, (since DTIC-L is the main repository for top management information) to determine if sufficient data are already being collected by our current automated and manual information systems for management to make decisions. |
