Book Description

Excerpt from Oversight of Governmentwide Travel Management: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management and the District of Columbia of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, March 8, 1996 Gao found that the Pentagon's indirect travel costs were roughly about 30 percent of the Department's billion in annual travel costs, or roughly $1 billion each year. In stark contrast, indirect travel costs in the private sector average about 10 percent of direct travel costs, with some of the very best firms in managing travel at or below 6 percent. As I recall, they were trying to get down to 3 percent in some cases. It was estimated that dod could save more than $800 million a year by redesigning its travel process and using best business practices. That is the equivalent, I suspect, of about four divisions, roughly servicemen and women. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
