Army Management Engineering College AMEC Wallace Hall (Building 90) The Army's catalyst for change ... Army Management Engineering College est. 1952 Committed to: Training, Research & Consulting College Accreditation. The American Council on Education has certified 43 courses at AMEC. ACE's Program On Non-collegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONS!) has ev aluated and indicated that these 43 courses are comparable to college level courses and has made college credit recommendations accordingly. This action paves the way for thousands of DoD employees to receive recommendations for credit for classes taken as part of their professional development training with the government.

Pryor As we approach the year 2000, the Army Management Engineering College staff and faculty share with you the common goal ofhaving a welltrained, highly productive Federal Work force. In this climate of tight training budgets and shrinking work force, AMEC can provide an effective approach in realizing this goal. The Army Management Engineering College (AMEC), in the true spirit of Total Army Quality, realigned itself into six expert, selfmanaged work teams. The elimination of the typical hierarchal structure has created a new ever-changing, ever-growing organization able to respond to any and all customer needs. The teams include the Organization Enhancement Team, Vision Achievement Team, Quality and Systems Acquisition Technology Team, Organizational Management Team, Information Management Team and the School of Engineering and Logistics. AMEC graduates over 20,000 students through resident, on-site, live satellite television, accredited off-campus instruction, correspondence, and learning center modes. Whether you choose to attend a short 1-1/2 day course, an intense technical course, or one of our executive development courses, you will encounter a dedicated faculty, a challenging curriculum, and fellow students from every part of the United States and overseas. 1 In support of its training mission, AMEC also conducts a broad spectrum of management research. Curriculum related research concentrates on developing knowledge concerning management concepts, techniques and procedures for application throughout the Department of Defense. This knowledge is used to update existing training concepts and materials, to develop new courses, and to provide innovative approaches for the resolution of management issues. The third mission of AMEC is management consulting. This mission is one of the more unique responsibilities assigned to the College and provides a powerful tool for field commanders and managers. The consulting service is a cost effective method of providing management assistance to remedy immediate problems as well as for future planning. It is AMEC's goal to provide educational services that are relevant, fill the needs of our customer, maintain high standards and apply the latest educational methods and technologies. AMEC's commitment to educational excellence is the foundation of our approach. I encourage you to take full advantage of all AMEC has to offer. I trust the training you receive from us will be both professionally and personally rewarding. Jack H. Pryor Colonel, INFANTRY Commandant 2 WHAT AMEC CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ... 3 4 HOW AMEC IS CHANGING &LEADING CHANGE The Army Management Engineering College is no novice in the Total Army Quality Arena. Named as the Total Army Quality proponent by the Department of the Army, AMEC is walking their talk. In March 1992, AMEC dissolved their hierarchial management structure; collapsing from five levels of management to two. In the true spirit ofTotal Army Quality, the AMEC faculty realigned itself into six expert, self-managed, work teams. The AMEC Faculty Teams include the Vision Achievement Team, Quality Systems Acquisition Technology Team, Information Management Team, Organization Enhancement Team, Operations Management Team, and the School of Engineering and Logistics Team. These expert work teams are supported by the Executive Support Board. Representation on the board provides a variety of expertise and experience that enables the faculty to support AMEC's mi ssion of training, consulting, and research while serving the needs of the customer. 5 COLLEGE ORGANIZATION -Organizational Performance Measurements -Benchmarking -Economic Analysis -Financial Management -Unit Cost/DBOF -Federal Sector Marketing -Value Analysis for Administrative and Service Activities -Information Technology -Corporate Information Management -Software Design & Development -Telecommunications -Workplace Automation -Computer and Communication Technology -Organizational Diagnostics -Organizational Design -Staffing -Manpower Management -Work Planning -Project Planning -Management Analysis STRATEGIC PLANNING INTEGRATION RESOURCE MANAGEMENT LOGISTICS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT REGISTRAR AND SUPPORT SERVICES HUMAN RESOURCES AND CONSULTING -RAM -Acquisition QA -Quality Improvement -Systems Acquisition -Manufacturing Techniques -Embedded Software QA Logistics Intern Programs -Supply Management -Maintenance Management Engineering Intern Programs -Maintainability -Safety -Product/Production -Quality/Product Assurance -Software -Test and Evaluation VISION ACHIEVEMENT -TQM for Executives -Strategic Planning -TQM for Managers -Human Behavior -Management Development -Process Action Team Training -Building Effective Teams -Establishing Self Directed Work Teams -QA for Commercial Activities -Logistics Support Analysis -Value Engineering -Acquisition Quality Assurance -Software Quality -Computer Aided Design -Industrial Preparedness VISION ACHIEVEMENT TEAM The Vision Achievement Team supports a diversified client base.

Located at the Red River Army Depot, Texarkana, Texas, SEL helps improve the quality of new federal employees in both engineering and logistics. SEL works with students from all levels of government to develop and implement methods which bring positive change to operational processes and increases military readiness. The SEL faculty team has taken an aggressive approach in assisting the Army Materiel Command (AMC) intern recruitment program to ensure the best and brightest candidates are prepared for various career fields at a variety of AMC activities. SEL's primary focus will be to continue to provide training in eight different career fields : two logistics and six engineering fields. Additionally, the school teaches the Pre-engineering for Physical Scientists Program, provides special request course offerings and performs applied research and consulting services. In addition to the Intern Training Program, SEL is developing a curriculum in Pollution Prevention in the Acquisition Process. This curriculum is designed for material developers and engineers responsible for insuring the consideration of pollution prevention in the design and acquisition of new material. Environmental policy, legislation and regulations that apply to Federal and contractor facilities will be addressed. Specific industrial processes, materials and treatments as sources of environmental pollution are defined and described. The need for environmentally acceptable technologies will be emphasized on the front end, rather than end-of-pipeline clean-up and expensive remediation. Pollution Prevention in the Acquisition Process will be piloted in late September 1992. For additional information on the School of Engineering and Logistics call DSN: 829-2168 or (903) 334-2168. 12 Whatever your individual or organizational needs -training, consulting, or research -the Army Management Engineering College can assist you in ''ONE-STOP!''
