Organizational Design of Most Efficient Organization Air Force Civil Engineer Operations Flights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249624516)

Air Force outsourcing and privatization (competitive sourcing program) is based on the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76. This program replaces traditional military / civilian organizations with either a government developed Most Efficient Organization (MEO) or a contractor operated organization to obtain the most economical method of performing an activity. As more Air Force Civil Engineer Operations Flights enter into these competitions with contractors, there is a greater need to understand how to structure an MEO to be competitive and successful.This research explored how two MEO Operations Flights were structured and what type of operations management practices they were using. The research involved performing site visits at the 17th Civil Engineer Squadron at Goodfellow AFB, and the 14th Civil Engineer Squadron at Columbus AFB. Data was collected through the use of the case study methodology in the form of interviews and organizational records, and was analyzed to describe the two MEO's structures and management practices as well as compare the organizations to the Objective Operations Flight, the traditional Air Force Operations Flight.
