Abstract:

The objective of this thesis is to provide financial managers in the United States Marine Corps with a familiarization of the Prime Enhancement Project PEP and to illustrate some of the potential for micro-computers in the financial management field. Because of the system constraints, the thesis is limited to an abstracted simulation of PEP and an example abstracted from the budget formulation process using an electronic spreadsheet. The objectives are met through the development of an integrated system of a micro-computer, necessary software, and a tutorial. The system described is the primary product of this thesis and a concurrent thesis prepared by Captain K. V. Lockett and Captain M. E. ONeil of the Naval Postgraduate School. Simultaneous use of both documents is essential to a thorough understanding of the project.
