Employing the Management Internal Control Toolset (MICT) Across the Enterprise.

摘要

This Graduate Research Project first determines MICT's utility relative to existing processes and tools in the areas of self-inspection efficiency, commander oversight, deficiency identification, corrective action plan development, trending, and resolution. Then, it determines how MICT's capabilities can best be leveraged to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the new Air Force Inspection System (AFIS) and enable future, desired transformations. Methodologies employed include inferential and descriptive statistics, surveys, and interviews to answer the following research questions: (1) Does MICT's utility relative to existing processes and tools in the areas of self-inspection efficiency, commander oversight, deficiency identification, corrective action plan development, trending, and resolution warrant mandatory, enterprise-wide employment; (2) Which MICT capabilities (if any) should be leveraged to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the new AFIS and to enable future desired transformation; (3) How should MICT key capabilities (if any) be leveraged to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in the new AFIS and to enable future desired transformation of the AFIS; (4) Which MICT key capabilities should software developers enhance to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the new AFIS and to enable future desired transformation of the AFIS. The three methodologies produced results that strongly supported research hypotheses presented in the introductory chapter.
