Subject
Summary:

To help consolidate management of all military supply depots, the Defense Department (DOD) has developed a prototype of the Defense Distribution System. This system is intended to automate the receiving, storage, and shipping functions at the depots. GAO evaluated the system as a case study of DOD efforts to standardize automated systems under its Corporate Information Management Initiative. This report discusses whether (1) DOD demonstrated that the system's potential benefits exceed its costs, (2) the system's functional and technical merits justified its consideration as a departmentwide standard system, and (3) the system points to any significant problems that could affect DOD's other automated system standardization efforts.
