Abstract:

This thesis explores the requirements for Automated Data Processing ADP support to Navy Public Works Departments in their role as Utilities managers for Navy and Marine Corps Shores Stations. Utilities function tasks which can benefit from ADP support are described. Results of a survey questionnaire sent to all sizable Public Works Departments are analyzed and Public Works Department utilities function existing ADP support and additional support requirements are profiled. Alternative sources for Public Works Department utilities ADP support are reviewed in light of the survey results. These alternatives are Base Engineering Support, Technical BEST Program for software development to be used by large computer installations for Public Works Department utilities support, BEST Program for acquisition of minicomputer hardware and development of software support, Navy Regional Data ADP Center NARDAC batch processed and timeshare support, Shipboard Non-tactical ADP Program SNAP support and commercial timeshare service support. Recommendations are made for target Public Works Department criteria, utilities function support system ADP requirements and further study of ADP support sources. Author
