_-Manpower application
II. Special Retrievals
Requests have been made for listingstlimited to our component
and arranged by project number, byfact.ivity code, and by project
number blocks. These were used to Itotal manhours for various
activities or projects and relate costs. Since some of our
project numbers have been placed in S49, these runs are no
longer valid. 4 ?... %
III. Deficiencies Noted
'a. Structural - the system was devised for the production cycle.
For those components providing services, it can be quite com-

minutes each. The record keepong becomes very involved by the
V c. Procedural - Requesters do not give us correct or valid pro-
b. Structural - the present use'of project numbers is of no value
inmeasuring services. Several years ago each major component
had a general project number to be used when requesting services.
We were able to relate manhours an~ cost against components.
At the present, 710030 is used forj'O/DIR, SS, PS, TSG, etc.
The information then retrieved on jroject numbers is of no value
tD us.
end of the week.
IV. MIS Done Away With
ject numbers. Much time is lost ih verifying numbers.
d. Procedural - The introduction of!S49 prevents us from obtain-
ing valid machine runs on the activities of our branch. It has
caused confusion among branches. A weekly listing of S49
projects is circulated. Since the'projects are not easily
identified, branches have cancelle4 other branches projects.
Rejoice! Forms used by employees daily to record project numbers
and'titie could?be eliminated. Much time would be saved.
