A Design for a Management System for Headquarters Air Force Logistics Command Word Processing.

摘要

The purpose of this thesis was to conduct a systems analysis and design a management system of word processing at Headquarters Air Force Logistics Command. The goals of this research were: (1) apply principles of management cybernetics in the analysis of the current word processing system, (2) identify organization deficiencies in the system, (3) develop recommended changes in the system, and (4) develop a proposed performance measurement system. The findings of this research indicated that the current word processing system is not returning the full benefits that are obtainable and that word processing is misused in the current manifestation. Revision work load has climbed dramatically since implementation of word processing due to the usage of automatic typewriters for routine correspondence and management's obsession with letter-perfect correspondence.
