Implementation of Recommended Improvements by the Defense Logistics Agency

Gao ID: LCD-77-111 October 14, 1977

A review of the actions taken by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to implement the recommendations contained in the report entitled "Automated Support of Depot Operations Could Be Improved" showed that DLA has not fully implemented those recommendations that will provide the most substantial improvements in the automated depot system.

DLA can realize substantial savings in materiel shipment costs when it improves consolidation of parcel post shipments with freight shipments. Additional controls and verification procedures are still needed before DLA should rely on its microfiche records for its shipping and transportation data.
