NEW PRINTING EQUIPMENT The acquisition of a laser platemaker in FY-82 will automate the production of printing plates and reduce the need for the photo- graphic process traditionally required in offset lithography. This is expected to result in a film cost savings of $80,000 per year, and a labor savings of two man-years, or $56,000 per year, in pre- press operations. Efficiencies resulting from the replacement of a 26-year-old 48-inch single-color press in FY-82 are expected to save a man-year in the press room with a dollar value of $28,000. Replace- ment of two 40-inch presses in FY-83, and their consolidation in a single four-color 40-inch press will save an additional man-year in' press room staffing requirements. The installation of an Atex 8090 Mini-Edit text editing system in NFAC, which will interface with ETECS, will permit more efficient utilization of personnel and faster job throughput thus saving the Agency, not necessarily the Printing and Photography Division (P&PD), an estimated two man-years while improving product quality. In total, the estimated material and manpower savings resultant from the planned initiatives will be $248,000 per year. TOTAL COST $1,200K BUDGET SURGE 550K. 4TH QTR 1981 SAVINGS 248KYr.

LOGISTICS INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LIMS) The primary intent of the LIMS project is paraphrased from the project Goal: To develop an integrated management system that recognizes and reacts to service requirements . . . enhances operational efficiency, effectiveness and productivity . . . increase(s) automation in OL information handling (and processing transactions) . . . supports worldwide OL (and Agency) operations. interface(s) with Agency accounting, budget, and payment processes. The foremost objective of LIMS is to dramatically improve the Office of Logistics' (OL) response to its customers, in terms of the acquisition and delivery of requested and required goods and services and support a rapid vendor payment process. Quantitatively, the internal requisition and processing sequence involving significant labor-intensive and paper-dependent processes currently averages 55 days of throughput. Using the same or fewer per- sonnel, the LIMS system will simplify processes, increase accuracy, provide timely information, improve vendor relationships, minimize bureaucratic procedures and, importantly, modernize the manner in which business is conducted today and in the future. The benefits of a LIMS system, with its projected responsiveness, will become especially vital in supporting covert action programs and the exploi- tation of targets of opportunity. Perceived automation within LIMS will: electrically link a minimum of Ito the OL materiel support system (and, in concert with CRAFT, be expanded to include about 0 absorb/consolidate at least eight presently autonomous OL data base systems; expedite transactions involving more than enhance the management of worth of onhand inventories; effect efficiencies in handling in excess of 33,000 shipments annually; streamline a myriad of procedures involved in handling in excess of 68,000 line items contained in 32,000 requisitions; significantly reduce today's paperwork shuffle and its associated costs of clerical effort, filing, logging, labor--and the generation of more than 1,000,000 xerox copies annually, within the supply and procurement functions. 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 S E C R E T SURGE Need 189K 1st Qtr 1982 Q 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 S E C R E T The development of an Agency standard automated package for property accountability will provide a vehicle to track Agency world- wide assets valued at The system will replace existing labor-intensive, paper-dependent processes, and correct inefficiencies associated with the explosion of autonomously developed non-standard property systems at the user level.

UTILITIES RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS Construction of a special chilled water loop to cool high heat load operational equipment separate from main building cooling systems could cost an estimated $825,000. Primary advantage is that concentrations of electronic equipment which cannot be accommodated by the regular building air conditioning can be placed on this system. Where some of this equipment must be run after working hours, it can be accommodated far more economically by servicing only the room directly involved rather than running all the space in that entire side of the building. For instance, to run one office on the seventh floor, at present, involves operation of two main air handlers covering 81,000 square feet of space at a cost of approxi- mately $22 per hour. This same office could operate for 30 cents per hour if served by the proposed chilled water loop or a 98.4 percent savings on present operating costs of over $8,000 per season in this one area. TOTAL COST BUDGET SURGE SAVINGS 825K $8.25K 1ST QTR FY82 (see note) Note - The initial $825,000 would build the main risers forming the trunk of a system that could then be developed incremently.

TAKEOVER HEADQUARTERS FROM GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION In FY-1981, CIA will pay $13,500,000 in Standard Level User Charges (SLUC) for the Headquarters complex. In turn, General Services Administration (GSA) will spend an estimated $8,100,000 to manage, operate, and maintain the complex. The difference in those two figures represents a potential savings to CIA of $5,400,000, assuming that CIA can operate the building at the same cost as does GSA. Several factors can be expected to drive up the cost to CIA and diminish potential savings. a. Under CIA management, Headquarters customers will expect better service. Aside from any questions of the competence of the GSA service organization, GSA budget levels are set at levels of 13 percent or more below known requirements. We anticipate that CIA requirements will be more fully funded, at an esti- mated cost of $1,200,000. b. There is growing recognition that the Headquarters complex is aging and many of the utility systems exceed their original life expectancy. Cost for programmed replacement and major emergency repairs will fluctuate widely from year to year. Average annual costs for capital repairs and alterations are estimated at $800,000 more than GSA presently spends. c. Whether CIA operates the facility with staff or contractor personnel, there will be additional costs imposed by the need to initially recruit and clear, and maintain a pipeline for a service cadre of approximately 335 persons. GSA is able to minimize these costs by drawing from a pool of available employees at nearby locations who are awaiting clearances. Without a firm basis for cal- culating any incremental costs, it is assumed the personnel security requirements will cost $500,000. The estimated added cost for CIA to operate the Headquarters complex totals $2,500,000, which reduces the potential savings to $2,900,000. That figure is judged to be very conservative. This analysis assumes that the $8,000,000 in reimbursable work funded by the Agency is accomplished by the GSA at cost, an assumption that also tends to understate savings.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS TO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE ADP CENTRAL SERVICE USER COMMUNITY This user community includes software developers and those engaged in software maintenance, production functions and data entry. This group includes professional and the "do your own" occasional programmer. A conservative estimate of this population is~sers Agency-wide (the current number of VM timesharing USERIDs). The goal would be to increase support slots and provide funds to produce a ten percent improvement in ADP productivity. A ten percent productivity improvement for a population o VM users, estimated as devoting 25 percent.of their time to AD functions results in estimated savings of $2.74 million dollars annually.* The investment required to produce this savings can be roughly estimated as 20 slots (5 trainers, 5 customer support personnel, 5 technical writers and 5 programming tool developers), for an annual cost of $.57 million dollars and an additional $.50 million dollars for procurement of commercial software (program development tools, etc) and a pool of external contract funds to support human engineering efforts on existing or new software. The net annual savings is therefore estimated as $1.67 million dollars ($2.74M-$1.07M=$1.67M). Over a ten-year period this savings amounts to $16.7 million dollars. Estimated on the basis of $28,500 annual (burdened) ODP salary.

INCREASE IN FUNDS AND/OR POSITIONS FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT Many cost savings recommendations derive from the benefits of automating manual systems or redesigning currently automated systems. ODP and the Agency in general are currently underinvested in the software development area: additional funds and/or slots for ODP or other components would mitigate this problem. Cost savings would of course depend on the specific application automated, but just in terms of the specific computer systems addressed by DD/A components the savings can be expected to aggregate to well in excess of $500,000 on an annual basis.

Increased unit cost, deferred purchases subject to inflation factors, tremendous wear and tear in pouching and constant advances in technology, all have resulted in apital equipment inventory inadequate in quantity and s a e-o - e-art. has been particularly hard hit by chronic under- capitalization. Approximatelyl will be required to overcome many years of underfunding in these programs. Price breaks resulting from large purchases would save approximately $412,000. Avoiding the inflation impact resulting from out-year purchases would cause additional savings. $412K 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 S E C R E T OFFICE OF MEDICAL SERVICES 1. DEVELOP TEXT/REPORT WRITING SOFTWARE PACKAGE THAT WILL INTERFACE WITH PSD INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM Develop a generalized text/report writing software package that will interface with Psychological Services Division (PSD) data analysis and information storage and retrieval system. The cost is approximately $140,000. The savings associated with the development of this software will include the 3,000 hrs/yr currently spent writing text for Psychological Test Battery skills bank reports ($40,000/yr). Furthermore, this software will provide report- writing capabilities which will permit PSD to respond much faster to other routine report-writing tasks.

ACQUISITION OF TWO SCAN-TRON 5098 OPTICAL MARK READERS Acquisition of two Scan-Tron 5098 Optical mark readers and Delta Data 7268 terminal. Savings with the acquisition of this equipment will be in the number of hours of maintenance on the IBM-1230 (300 hrs/yr); the amount of time currently spent handling, verifying, and producing the card decks from the IBM-1230 (600 hrs/yr) ($8,500/yr), and the yearly cost of renting the IBM-1230 ($7,400). Efficiency will occur in the form of improved Psychological Services Division response time to consumers and reliability of the product. A savings of circa $16,000/yr by replacing obsolete (often non- functioning) IBM-1230's.

The project requires an initial input of people for systems design and programming, and may require equipment purchases. At present the Office of Data Processing has a request for 12 positions in the FY-1983 budget to satisfy OF systems requirements. Equipment costs will not be known until the options for meeting requirements have been reviewed. The system will: - Improve the input media for T&A data. - Automate the amended T&A process. - Provide automated calculation of rates of pay and entitlements. - Allow access to pay data on a current basis at all times. - Develop pay history data.

LOGISTICS INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -'VENDOR PAYMENTS* Payment of vendor and contractor bills is dependent on a system of manual procedures and interfaces between Agency offices, the Office of Logistics and the Office of Finance. In concert with the develop- ment of the Logistics Information Management System an automated vendor payment system will be developed which will reduce usage of overtime and ad hoc task forces. This system will also lead to improvement of the Agency's invoice payment process - both timeliness and accuracy. There will be an accompanying improvement in the Agency's ability to realize discounts and effectively manage cash flow to ensure payments are neither early nor late.

This is a modest facility which responds to program requests from all components of OTE and several non-OTE components. Because of the increased use of TV pro- duction as a training medium, there is a requirement to expand OTE TV program production quantitatively but more import qualitatively. Most of our TV productions are 10 minutes or more. Current commercial rates are $1,000 per finished minute. To bring facility to minimum professional quality, s needed.

While none of these applications exactly paral- lel language training, there is reason to believe that some aspects of language learning lend themselves to computer assisted instruction. For example, use of particular verbs, repetitive sentence structures,m vocabulary drills, etc. We doubt that instructor positions can be reduced by computer assisted instruction.

Efficiencies and associated cost savings achieved in the DDA since FY-79 are summarized in Attachment A. We believe it is extremely important that the DCI be made aware of these recent efforts in order to: o correct his perception that " . the rest of the -Government is working hard at this (cost reduction and efficiency) and thus far it is my impression that there is too much thinking here that we are immune from this requirement." o provide support to his efforts to significantly increase Agency funds for capital investment, and, thereby, make possible even greater future efficiencies and savings. The savings enumerated in Attachment A are all the more remarkable considering the fact that DDA non-personal service budgets for FY-80, FY-81, and FY-82 are all less than the FY-79 budget in terms of constant dollars and that the DDA is more heavily impacted by inflation, particularly that resulting from increases in energy and materiel costs, than any other directorate. That we were still able to achieve significant savings in this environment can be directly attributable to our continuing efforts to "do more with less." 2. Several cautions regarding the magnitude of the cost savings shown in Attachment A should be observed: o The savings shown cover the period from FY-79 until 30 June 1981, but for a given item, savings are shown only for the period since the implemen- tation of that item, i.e., individual savings could cover a period as long as 2 years and 9 months or as short. as only several months. These savings would be even larger had we chosen to show total "life-cycle" savings.

To review OSS records, we. have used 14 persons hired under independent contracts at a cost of $452,000. To use GS-13 staff officers to work the same number of hours would have cost the Agency $664,000, thus we realized a savings of $212,000. In the review of other Agency records we have used former employees on contracts which has resulted in a savings per each man-year of $25,000. Contract employees have accounted for a total of 4.83 man-years of classification review for a total estimated saving of $120,750. Total estimated savings from use of contract employees has been $332,750. (Note: These figures do not include the amounts of the annuities paid to,the former employees.) $332,750 Modification of the "All Employees" Distribution of Regulatory Issuances Previously, each employee received a copy of all Headquaters Notices and Employee Bulletins. Regulations Control Division modified this distribution schedule providing one copy for each six employees, thus saving 7,606 copies with each printing. The distribution schedule has been used 216 times since FY 1978 resulting in a savings of 1,642,896 pages at .5~ per page for a total savings of $8,214.48. $8,214 Approved For Release 2005/c P84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 TAB Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 200 CrM E=EREf-RDP84-00933ROO0200230004-3 OFFICE OF MEDICAL SERVICES Reduction of Independent Contract Physicians Greater utilization and involvement of staff physicians in the medical examination process resulted in fewer sessions required of independent contfact physicians. $32,000 X-Ray Program Overall costs of the X-ray program were reduced by centralizing X-ray interpretations and establishing' new X-ray requirements (based on new medical criteria) which resulted in a decrease of the number of chest X-rays taken. $44,000 Reduced Use of Outside Laboratory Facilities Establishing in-house capabilities for bacteriology and auto- mated hematology procedures as well as enhancing automated blood chemistry quality control resulted in fewer samples being sent to outside laboratory facilities. $30,000 Administrative Belt-tightening General administrative belt-tightening which reduced the number of subscriptions to periodicals; enforced judicious use of POV funds; established formal agreements with other U.S. Government agencies for obtaining immunization vaccines; reduced the overtime for after-hours security duty through adjustment of work hours. $27,500 Approved For Release 2~g~gEj IA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 TAB Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005@CRff-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 OFFICE-OF COMMUNICATIONS Redistribution of Human Resources During the past three years, the Foreign Networks Division has reduced the staffing at 25X1 positions were en reassignea y require- ments. The total saving of this realignment of personnel is approximately $1,500,000 per year. The Information Control Branch, Support Services Division, was reduced in March 1980 by four positions, with the incumbents' duties being absorbed by the remaining Branch personnel. These positions were made available for other functions within the office. The Signal Center Branch, Domestic Networks Division, restructured its watch schedule covering weekends with scheduled overtime with a net savings of $500,000 per year. positions have been made available for other functions wit in t e office. $5,500,000 Use of ADP Resources Use of ADP resources in the day-to-day management of the Office of Communications OC is widespread. Systems such as 25X1 MAINS, and others, have improved efficiency; use ot VM, and SCRIPT in preparation of formats, specifications, studies and reports have increased efficiency. No specific dollars have been identified but it can safely be said that use of ADP resources has improved office efficiency by 5-7 man-years. People are free to do other things. 25X1 25X1 25X1 SECRET, Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 20N7~~ ..IIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Office of Communications - Continued Logic Improvement in Message Switches When increased service is needed, Unattended Operation Terminal (UOT) eliminates the need for an expensive voice grade line. To date, three units have been installed resulting in an annual savings of $30,000. Improved service has been possible at facilities through the use of FASTCAST. Dollar savings with respect to this improve- ment are difficult to compute. However, the use of FASTCAST in a crisis situation provides a service not measurable.in dollars. A modification was made to print out logs of messages with errors instead of all messages passing through the switch. This saved the time required by operators to search through the logs looking for messages with an error. The manpower savings was estimated at 1.5 man-years per site. There are three sites, and one is overseas. This equates to a cost savings of approximately $157,000 per year for manpower and reduces paper consumption by 360 boxes per year ($5,400). $541,600 CIA Cable Reference File 25X1 Approval of a revised ]is expected to occur in the very near future. This approval will clear the way for the Cable Secretariat Branch (CSB) to reduce its CIA cable reference file (archives) from two years to two months. Concurrent with the reduction in the requirement for CSB to retain Agency traffic, the DDO registries will be required to maintain their holdings of CIA traffic for two months. The CIA cable reference file can then be reduced to an emergency backup file maintained on magnetic tape. Two positions made available for other functions. RACAL 9629 MODEM Provides for accommodating up to four separate and indepen- dent circuits onto, one MODEM and leased line, thereby saving either additional MODEMS and leased lines or additional multiplexers.

This is extremely time-consuming. The CAI is formatted with automatic scoring which also allows the instructor to literally 25X1 be in two places at one time. is expanding its CAI program but at its present state, CAIving approximately 10 man-weeks per year. Classroom Renovation and Reallocation of Training Equipment: Better than 60 percent of the operations training area of 25X1 is being renovated. The end results ot is effort will be consolidation of equipment which will maximize training, freeing up floor space for newer tech- nology, and purging training of outdated equipment. Consolidation will intensify training and may reduce training time. Better than a thousand square feet have already been realized through renovation. Our electronic'maintenance shop believes it will save approximately six man-weeks by not having to maintain old and outdated equipments. Project DUE Dictionary Upgrade Effort (DUE), Phase I, was completed in May 1981. The one-year project consisted of a redesign of the concept and approach used to automatically disseminate messages through the Cable Dissemination System (CDS). Approximately 70 percent of all traffic is now processed by machine with a goal of 80 percent at the completion of Phase II. Prior to Project DUE, approximately 25 percent of the cable traffic was machine analyzed. Project DUE has lessened the burden on the cable analysts and permitted-them to more effectively and accurately disseminate cable traffic.

Savings - $12,000/yr ongoing. $32,000 OC Finance Branch Procedural Changes The Finance Branch (FB) instituted several procedural changes that resulted in more efficient operation and time'savings to FB employees. Listed below are some of the more noteworthy improvements: 1. Deleted the requirement to post individual price adjustments to each requisition. Control of costs has been maintained with a monthly time savings of about two' days. 2. Established a card system to identify pertinent infor- mation on each contract. This system facilitated the pro- cessing of billings through FB. The monthly savings in time approximates 1/2 day. 3. Initiation of?a travel order log to identify the type of travel, cover of the traveler, etc. This has since been computerized on the MAINS system and has been expanded to include basic data of the travel order. Savings in time is estimated 3-5 days per year. 4. Devised packages containing basic travel and allowances data forms to complete an accounting for these items. The purpose of these packages is to inform travelers of their entitlements and make them aware of the forms required to submit an accounting. A resulting saving of about 1/2 day per month was realized. 5. Redesigned Form 2646 to permit payment of petty cash claims at Decentralized Disbursing Offices. The savings to FB is probably three to four hours per month. 6. Established a Decentralized Disbursing Office in the 25X1 Building to handle all monetary transactions for Agency, em oyees. This eliminated the necessity for a great many employees to travel.to other buildings. Cost saving was estimated at approximately one man-year. -4- Approved For Release 2005/0 C P84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005SE RE -RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Office of Communications - Continued Recruitment Teams OS/OMS/OC As a result of the Task Force Recruitment Team going to 25X1 the effort produced a significant savings to the U.S. taxpayer. The Team coats were $5,909 for two security officers, one medical officer, and two communications officers. If-the 25 applicants had come to Washington, D.C. for three days of processing, the Agency cost: would have been $30,875. This representsa total savings of $24,966. Additionally, the Team made history by EOD'ing two ET employees one week after they were interviewed in the field. Many offices and hands made this possible. $24,966 DATEX Program to Provide Message Relay to ODP Computer from CDS The modification of the DATEX system software to provide message traffic relay to ODP, COMET, and SAFE versus development of a separate message switch system to provide the service saved $300,000 in hardware costs and an undeterminable number of man- hours that would have been required to write the software. $300,000 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 SECRET 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 TAB Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/S/4?'B1E-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 OFFICE OF FINANCE 25X1 Reduction of Agency Cashier Funds Trea funds held by Agency cashiers have been r edu ced by This results in an annual estimated savin gs of $570,000 at an average borrowing rate of 12 percent to U.S. Treasury. th e $570,000 25X1 Operating bank account balances have been reduced by roughly 25X1 I lat an estimated annual savings of $480,000 to the U.S. Treasury. $480,000 Reduction of Disbursing Centers' Funds Cash on hand in Agency disbursing centers has been reduced and currency orders to the Federal Reserve have been stretched out resulting in a savings of approximately $30,000 to the U.S. Treasury. $30,000 Improvement in National Program Bill Paying Payments to National Program contractors have been switched from Agency bank account channels to direct deposits of Treasury checks, resulting in an estimated saving of $300,000 per year in borrowing costs to the Treasury. This procedure also reduces delivery time of vendor payments. $300,000 25X1 Payroll Absorpt-ion of Workload During Calendar 1980 pay cases (the number of people paid through the payroll system including CIARDS annuitants) increased This workload increase of 4.2 percent was absorbed by Payroll Division without an increase in staff. This results in a cost: avoidance of $43,598 and 2.4 additional workyears which would have been necessary to meet this increase in work. The absorption has been made possible by a series of productivity improvements made by Compensation Divsion. $43,598 Approved For Release 2005/08/2 84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005ERDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Office of Finance - Continued Reduction of Delinquent Travel Advances In February of 1980, a ,concerted attempt was started to reduce delinquent travel advances. At that time delinquent 25X1 advances numbered with a total cash value of $1,335,752. With the assistance o budget and finance officers throughout the Agency, these advances were reduced toF---~cases with a value of $381,395 by 31 May 1981. This resulted in a savings of $48,000 to the U.S. Treasury. $48,000 Improvement in Bill Paying Production During the last 15 months, 0/FIZZ increased the average number of bills paid from roughly 3000 to 4000 per month, a 33 percent increase. We also reduced the number of unpaid bills over 30 days old from 1200 to 300. This productivity increase was accomplished with the assistance of the office of Logistics and contract and B&F officers throughout the Agency but without any increase in staff in the Audit: and Certification Division. Savings cannot be measured in dollars but have occurred in terms of hard savings to contractors through more timely payments, hard savings to the Agency through better contractor relationships, and through a decrease in complaint correspondence. Discounts Taken Many manufacturers and vendors offer discounts for prompt payment of their invoices. Savings realized as a result of taking advantage of discounts offered totaled $455,000 during the period 1 October 1979 through 30 June 1981. $455,000 25X1 Approved For Release 20(SE1 EcJA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 TAB Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005 faRDP84-00933R000200230004-3 OFFICE OF LOGISTICS Elimination of Logistics Services Division Budget Item of $50,000 for a Mini-Computer INFO, a data base management system which enables the building of small, easy-to-use data bases, has been installed under CMS software.

This consolidation resulted in the elimination of seven positions, the saving of 2,400 square feet of floor space, and the avoidance of equipment and supply costs of over $300,000. Significant unquantifiable benefits relating to the functional efficiencies that resulted from operating one plant rather than two should also be noted. $532,000 has been saved since plant consolidation. Of this figure, $392,000 results from manpower savings and $40,000 was saved as a result of the turn-in of 2400 square feet of space. $532,000 Approved For Release 200 ll-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/tEf REAT DP84-00933R000200230004-3 Office of Logistics - Continued Acquisition. of Web Press The Printing and Photography Division installed a web offset printing press in January of 1980. Utilization of this press saves the Press Branch one man-year for each year it is used. This device also makes improved quality and decreased job turn- around possible; and because the web press uses.roll paper rather than. cut sheets, selected paper costs are reduced as much as 40 percent. A savings of $86,000 has been realized since the installation of the web press. This is a combined labor and materials savings figure. $86,500 Muller-Martini Saddle Gatherer This piece of bindery equipment supports the operation of the web press by providing an improved means of finishing (collating, stitching, trimming) the web's output. This machine reduces book finishing time by a third. A labor savings worth of $10,125 has resulted from the installation of this machine in February of 1980. . $10,125 ETECS Full Page Composition Selected National Foreign Assessment Center (NFAC) publica- tions are currently undergoing automated full page makeup through the improved utilization of the ETEC System by the Printing and Photography Division (P&PD). This results in the savings of one man-year for NFAC. P&PD's Composing Branch must expend a portion of this saved man-year; however, there is still a net manpower savings, and product quality and throughput are significantly improved. $14,000 -2- Approved For Release 200.'/EI RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 200 R 4-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Office of Logistics - Continued Press Comments Format Change The format of the Press Comments publication was changed from 8 x 12 1/2 inches to 8 x 10 1/2 inches in October 1980. This has allowed the Press Comments to be printed on the web press, thereby, saving three hours each in the Press and Bindery Branches. on each of the four days that the publication is produced. Utilizing the: web press also effects a 40 percent paper savings as a result of the smaller page size and the use of less expensive roll paper. This change in format has resulted in $13,000 in manpower savings, and $6,000 in materials savings. $19,000 Directorate of Operations Technical Manual Duplication The Printing and Photography Division (P&PD) is involved in the reproduction of technical manuals fo`r a component of the Directorate of Operations (DO). Until recently, this reproduction service was performed using costly and time- consuming photographic processes. A reevaluation of the project and available equipment led to the development of a system which dramatically reduced the cost of supporting this activity. By substituting xerography for photography, it has become possible to save approxima=tely $500,000 per year. This figure represents labor and material savings. $1,000,000 Negotiated Contract Savings Negotiated savings for the period 1 October 1978 - May 1981 amount to $5,500,000. $5,500,000 Approved For Release 2M%- A-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 2005/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 SECRET Office of Logistics - Continued Electric Powered Centrifugal Chiller The recent (Ma 81) replacement of the steam powered 25X1 absorption chiller with an electric powered centrifugal chiller tor air con itioning saves an estimated $277 per hour at full load operation.

To date in 1981, the Agency has obtained $11,924 of property from other Agency excess lists. $277,373 Contract Information System (CONIF) As a result of the-1977 centralization of the Contract Information System (CONIF), a savings of six part-time employees at the GS-06 level was realized and amounts to $42,000 per year. It is estimated that the automated interface of the Contract Information System (CONIF) and the General Accounting System (GAS) has saved the Offices of Finance and Logistics 1.5 man- years at the GS-06 level. On-line retirement procedures were implemented to keep the Contract Information System (CONIF) database free of settled contracts. This reduced the database holdings by 50 percent and the processing time for queries by at least 50 percent. With room in memory for more storage and a more manageable data base, it will not be necessary to acquire a new system which might cost $200,000 to $300,000. $419,000 25X1 Approved For Release kCAT CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release 20D.5/08/22 : CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 SECRET Office of Logistics - Continued Direct-Readout Scale The Preservation and Packaging Section of the has installed one and ordered two more electronic direct-readout type scales that mount integrally on forks of lift truck.

This initiative was intended to prevent the expenditure of limited resources on questionable cases. The OS contingent currently consists of one full-time GS-13 professional employee and four contract annuitants. The total cost of the annuitants to date has been $35,700. Statistics kept since June 1980 reflect savings in investigative costs, under the most conservative interpretation possible, to be at least $165,000. This estimate does not include the immeasurable savings in investigative time realized in those cases where the OS expedi- tors have obtained directly from the applicants information they had failed to provide on the Personal History Statements. (C) $129,300 Guard Program Commencing in May 1980, we have made reductions in the Guard Program, including the-closing of entrances and realignment of posts, that resulted in savings of $449,000 in FY 80 alone. Additional savings of $835,500 through 30 June 1981 are antici- pated.

The Systems Support Branch/SRD was able to remove the unneeded names from SANCA by supplying the Security file numbers to the Office of Data Processing. Deletions are now routinely accomplished at the Ruffing Center. This eliminates an . estimated 2.45 GS-06 workyears within SRD for an annual savings of some $34,300. $34,300 Card Index Conversion to Microfiche During the same period, the 3 x 5 card backup system was con- verted to microfiche, which is automatically generated from the SANCA magnetic tapes. By eliminating the need for GS-04 clerks to manually extract and destroy each index card, SRD estimates that the 800,000 deletions processed by machine represent a one-time savings of some $6,000. Since new cards are no longer created, there is a continuing savings of an estimated $1,700 yearly. Finally, the phasing out of the card index released 400 feet of valuable floor space to the new file review project. This area, 25X1 if rented in the at $10 per square foot per year, would cost Security $4,000 annually. $65,700 Approved For Release 2005L c "CIA-RDP84-00933R000200230004-3 Approved For Release siIN.
