DIRECTOR, APPLIED SCIENCES DIVISION, Energy Information Administration,

Washington, D.C. (March 1980-September 1981)

As Director of the Applied Sciences Division, I managed the functions and activities of a

support division engaged in providing scientific software and econometric/operations

research services to various elements of the Energy Information Administration. I directed

the identification of Automatic Data Processing (ADP) user needs for improved scientific-

oriented software capabilities and the development of policies, procedures, and scientific-

oriented software to satisfy user needs. I directed and managed the analytical support

functions provided by the Office of ADP Services to various organizational units of the

Department of Energy. These functions include the application and implementation of

operations research, statistical, and econometric techniques in the evaluation and design of

computer systems for processing energy data. I ensured an optimal use of existing and

proposed techniques and computer capabilities to process energy data at least cost. My

management efforts resulted in a cost savings of over $200,000 in FY 1980 and FY 1981

in providing the software services for the statistical/econometric/ operation research

models used in the processing of energy data. In addition to the above, I served as the

Chairman of the Committee to develop a plan for the distributed data processing Pilot Test

to investigate the use of mini/micro-computers to process energy data; I designed a

framework for the ADP Resources Management System to provide users with graphical

reports on development of ADP resources.

Simultaneously with the above position, I served as the Acting Director of the ADP

Planning and Evaluation Division responsible for the ADP planning, procurement, and contract management of all ADP hardware, software, and services. The procurements and

contracts totalled $14 million (approximately) per year and required the preparation and

review of statements of work, procurement requests, coordination with several elements of the DOE General Services Administration (GSA). I designed and implemented the

systems and procedures necessary to prepare and effect the procurement of ADP hardware, software, and services. This reduced the manpower spent in those actions by at least 30

percent. Also, in this position, I directed the ADP requirements studies for the multi- functional equipment, terminals and communications equipment, and the ADP Conversion

Study.

Concurrent with my position as the Director of the Applied Sciences Division, I served as the Acting Director of the Computer Services Division, responsible for maintaining and controlling computer hardware. In this position, I directed efforts in establishing new ADP

66

Services, implementing Departmental and Governmental ADP policies for the operation of ADP facilities, and provided experienced management of the review and analysis of ADP plans, budgets and equipment acquisitions and evaluations.

During the time of my assignment as the Acting Director, Computer Services Division, I decreased the time required for problem resolution by 50 percent, ensured that project deadlines were met (this division, prior to my assignment, was notorious for always slipping its deadlines). and increased the computer availability to users.

In performing the above duties, I was a key senior management officer of the Office of ADP Services and often represented the Office Director at meetings and decision conferences. In addition, I served as a technical and management adviser to the Office Director on substantive issues to ensure that political, technical, and managerial aspects are included in the resolution of issues.

Computer Specialists, Systems Analysts, and Operations Research Analysts engaged in the

planning and enhancements of ADP Systems, postal service wide regulations, and Control of ADP

hardware/ software in the U.S. Postal Service. I developed procurement policies and procedures

which were consistent with Federal Procurement Regulations and managed the commercial time-

sharing contracts. I directed the development and implementation of the Distributed Data

Processing framework and policies for the U.S. Postal Service and implemented management

techniques for cost-effective utilization of ADP resources. Among the projects completed were:

Study and evaluation of new developments in the field of computing and associated equipment functions including installation and utilization of highly complex communication network design.

GENERAL MANAGER, STATISTICAL SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS DIVISIONS, U.S.

Postal Service, Washington, D.C. (May 1973 - August 1977) As General Manager of the Statistical Systems Requirements Division, I directed a professional

staff of statisticians, operations researchers, and systems analysts for the (a) development of quantitative and econometric forecasting models for managerial decisions, (b) application of

statistical and econometric analysis to several operational and strategic systems of the Postal Service, (c) sampling techniques for large-scale statistical information systems, and (d) design and

sampled data, (c) requests for proposals and statements of work for the design of statistical and

econometric systems including programming support which were consistent with Federal

Procurement Regulations and Postal Service requirements, and (d) prepared and projected the

annual (short-term and long-term) budget requirements to support various elements of the U.S.

Postal Service. I identified and developed systems requirements for a multi-disciplinary user group

and their inclusion into the long-term information systems plan for the U.S. Postal Service. I

frequently briefed the senior management on the key issues, systems, and plans including

recommendations for the optimum action strategies at any given time. My key accomplishments

in this position were: Structural reorganization of the Office of Statistical Programs and Standards to align the

functions and responsibilities co-equally and to provide for the operations research, econometrics, and the analytical support to solve managerial problems. This reorganization improved the availability of information for such functions as postal rate making without increase in cost or people.
