NPS (Naval Postgraduate School) Supply Requisition Database - Interactive Software as an Alternative to Written Instructions.

Abstract : Procedures to execute specific activities are usually communicated in writing throughout large organizations. This thesis presents a prototype example of interactive software as an alternative to the promulgation of written instructions. The Naval Postgraduate School supply requisition generation process has been distilled into a single software package, the Supply Requisition Database (SRdb), which prepares requisition documents and maintains a local database of items ordered. Emphasis is placed upon ease of use and labor efficiency. Although limited initial testing of the software is reported, SRdb is offered primarily as a tool for further research of the concept.
