Book excerpt: The Air Force had designed a program--called Phase IV--to replace computers at 118 air bases around the world by July 1985. Because of difficulties in converting the old software to run on the new computers and in demonstrating that the new computers can meet the bases' expected workload, the Air Force is 6 months behind schedule in implementing Phase IV at its first site. According to the Air Force, this delay will increase overall costs by about $6 million. However, the Air Force expects to recover from the delay by March 1985. Although every effort should be made to stay on schedule and to avoid increased costs, GAO believes that overall quality should not be compromised. The converted software and computers must be thoroughly tested before being implemented at other bases. According to the Air Force, a 1980 redirection of Phase IV has produced significant savings. The Air Force estimates that, as a result of Phase IV and refinements made incident to the Phase IV redirection, total acquisition and operation savings over the next 20 years will be $1.8 billion. By following through with commitments made to the House Committee on Government Operations in 1980, the Air Force can realize additional savings. The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management) is acting on issues raised in this report. (Author).

Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Air Force's Phase IV Base Level Computer Replacement Program which is designed to replace existing computers at 118 air bases worldwide. The Air Force's purchase of the computers is contingent upon successful demonstration of the hardware and the converted software. GAO found that the Air Force had selected a contractor before software conversion from the old to the new computers and performance testing had been completed. Because of difficulties in converting the old software to run on the new computers and in demonstrating that the new computers can meet the bases' expected workload, the Air Force is 6 months behind schedule in implementing Phase IV at its first site. GAO noted that, although the Air Force and the contractor have taken steps to minimize delays and to complete software conversion and testing efforts, they continue to experience difficulties in: (1) converting software from old to new computers; and (2) demonstrating that the computers operate properly and can handle base workloads. GAO believes that the Air Force must continue to closely monitor the program and, although every effort should be made to stay on schedule and to avoid increased program costs, overall program quality should not be compromised. GAO also believes that additional Air Force actions to reduce program costs need to be taken before Phase IV can be effectively implemented at other bases.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 1320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined issues studied and recommendations made by the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, better known as the Grace Commission, to determine whether: (1) the issues and recommendations made on program management and cost control had merit; (2) legislation would be necessary to implement the recommendations; (3) implementation efforts were completely underway; and (4) the savings estimates were realistic. GAO found that many of the issues studied and recommendations made by the Commission had overall merit and that, while many have already been implemented by legislative or administrative action, many more require additional legislative action to be fully implemented. However, GAO questioned the accuracy of many of the associated savings estimates, found flaws in the methodology used to develop some of the estimates, and found that the description of the methodology used in some estimates was insufficient to allow an assessment of its validity. In most of the instances where GAO questioned the methodology used, it believed that the savings were overstated. GAO supported management improvement issues more frequently than policy-oriented issues; however, policy-oriented issues constitute a large portion of the total estimated savings. GAO does not support restructuring federal subsidy programs and fixing federal health care costs to a percentage of the gross national product, and it disagreed with selected aspects of recommendations to reduce civilian and military retirement benefits. GAO support was most extensive in the areas aimed at strengthening federal management systems, federal automatic data processing operations, federal credit and cash management efforts, and civilian procurement and property management activities. GAO has made similar or related recommendations in nearly half of the areas in which it agreed with the Commission. Additional legislative action would be necessary to fully implement approximately half of the recommendations analyzed.
