Description
Summary:From its inception, (Defense Mapping Agency) (DMA) management recognized that manpower and funding increases sufficient to satisfy the backlog of all worldwide requirements for mapping, charting and geodesy (MC&G) support could not reasonably be expected. Accordingly, the Agency's objective has been to narrow the gap between MC&G needs and resources by satisfying only those requirements which have withstood a rigorous review and validation process and by increasing our effectiveness/productivity. In the first instance, DMA works continually with the user during the requirements develop to point out the most cost effective method of meeting their MC&G requirements. In the second instance, we increase our productivity by such management initiatives as eliminating, realigning, and consolidating activities; by taking advantage of automation and technology to improve production techniques and processes; and by motivating our people to find more efficient and effective means of carrying out the DMA mission. The vehicle for pursuing these objectives was designated the DMA Effectiveness/Productivity (E/P) Program. (Author)
