Common Access Card (CAC) Feasibility Analysis
RMC prepared a feasibility analysis for using the Department of Defense (DoD) CAC smart card technology in Community Support (CS) programs at NAVAIR facilities. The purpose of the analysis was to determine if the technology being deployed on the CAC could also be used by the various CS business activities to collect patron use data and facility access control. Methodologies included on-site and phone interviews as well as observations at several Continental United States (CONUS) NAVAIR facilities and the Navy Smart Card office in Arlington, Virginia. The study included the analysis of hardware and software options required for the successful application of the technology.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Business Activities Analysis
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of accounting procedures for MWR business activities at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, MD, and Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, NJ. The analysis was to discover the causes of extreme variances of the cost of goods sold percentages that were occurring at each activity. A remediation plan was developed which included a training presentation for managers on proper storekeeping and physical inventory procedures. Also converted the inventory accounting system from a manual system to the Navy's Base Level Accounting System (BLAS) for recording and tracking resale inventory.

Return on Investment and Internal Needs Validation Study
Our team of management science consultants performed Return on Investment (ROI) and Internal Needs Validation Study (INVS) for several multi-million dollar construction projects at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD. This included calculations for Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) using historical data as well as projections. Assisted in the preparation of the project nomination packages that were submitted for funding approval.
