| Abstract: |
The management audit is described for possible application as an extension of the mission of the Office of Manpower Utilization (OMU) of the U.S. Marine Corps. The present mission of OMU is viewed as a manpower research program to conduct task analysis of Marine Corps occupational fields. Purpose of the analyses is to improve the functional areas of classification, assignment, training, grade and military occupational specialty structure, job requirements, and job validation. Major topics in this report are purpose and scope of management auditing, overview of the management audit process, comparison of the management audit with task analysis, and implications of the management audit approach for OMU. The report suggests that significant advantages could be gained by expanding the mission of the OMU so that its staff could offer management auditing service on an optional basis to occupational fields that request such assistance. Annotations of four references on management auditing are included in a selected bibliography. (Author/WL) |
