MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: NPIC/MIS
1. The MIS should help the various levels of NPIC management see
changes in productivity and answer questions related to production and
its costs. To provide information on productivity or time/production
unit, on production, and on costs, the MIS must contain information on
units of production for those products and systems that we get questions
on. To save effort, it could exclude information on supporting services
(SS etal) that do not produce main-line products and whose "costs" are
available enough through T&A records, etc.
2. To save input preparation costs or computer system resources,
it should examine the possibility of incorporating or borrowing from
the POS/PSG production monitoring system, the RED/TSG contract infor-
mation system, the PBB/PS budget printout system, and the IIS/IDF. And it
should examine non-NPIC Pystems for input or supplementary information --
the DDS&T Contract Monitoring System, the IRS/DDI Requirements System,
and the DDS or OPPB systems that supply us (FB/SS and PBB/PS with print-
outs on regular -- and overtime hour costs, obligations or expenditures,
and personnel figures.
3. To include production units should take little ADP file space.
A three-four character element per record might do: a character for
type of production unit -- page of text, target readout, etc.; and
two-three for number of units..
4+. Questions from upper management concern costs, production, and
productivity. So we need a system that tells us how those things change
as we change functions, personnel, or equipment. An improved MIS can.
