Report No. NSIAD-84-81
Subject
Summary:

Pursuant to congressional requests, GAO reviewed Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to consolidate Personal Property Shipping Offices.

GAO found that the consolidation plan implemented by DOD was more limited in scope than that recommended by the Defense Audit Service and did not achieve the savings expected. Consolidation was generally limited to booking outbound personal property shipments and administering the Carrier Evaluation Reporting System, while other functions remained fragmented among the shipping offices. In some instances, consolidations resulted in increased costs because of the need for additional staff at some offices.
