48. 1975_02_14_TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT: Prepared by the lead investigator, JVM, and ably assisted by Jay Clark, Neal Nored, and Bob Roelf, 1975 February 14
Scope and Contents
This 22-page Original Copy spiral-bound report, plus extensive graphs, tables, statistics, etc., was the culmination of an effort to improve the backlog/lapse of time in issuing reports to the schools following the receipt of the OMR answer sheets by MRC. In essence, our processing volume of answer sheet (count) had grown remarkably during the recent years, but our ability to 'keep up' with the 'processing flow' had not. The situation had reached a minor crises point in that the school customers were beginning to complain loudly about the delays in MRC test-result returns. Accordingly, Burdette P. Hansen, MRC General Manager, assigned the above technical oriented staff members to conduct a thorough study to identify the bottlenecks and offer solutions. The effort was begun in DEC 74 and the recommendations were required by JAN 75 in time to prepare for the heavy processing load anticipated in the spring of 1975. Numerous problems were identified by the Task Force, and the many recommendations were accepted by MRC Management, with the changes instituted, thereby avoiding further problems. The Folder on the DVD Media Disc is: 1975_02_14 _WLC TaskForceFinalReport_JVM, and contains the JPEG-Image scan of the Cover of the report and the first few pages, plus the JPEG image scans of a 23-page hand-printed SUMMARY Report prepared by JVM on 1974_12_15 prior to the release on February 14, 1975 of the Final Report. The Original Copy of the JVM report is included
