Management tool receives Air Force chief of staff award

  • Published
WASHINGTON --  A new Management Internal Control Toolset designed to help commanders run their units more effectively earned an Air Force Best Practice award during the 2008 Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award ceremony.

Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, Air Force chief of staff, presented the award to the Air Force Reserve Command Inspector General's MICT team during a ceremony Sept. 16 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington.

Lt. Gen. Charles E. Stenner Jr., chief of Air Force Reserve and AFRC commander, congratulated each team member afterwards and presented each of them with a Chief of Air Force Reserve coin.

The Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award program recognizes outstanding team performances and shares best practices within the Air Force. It promotes a systematic approach for enhancing mission capability, improving operational performance and achieving sustained results while maximizing efficiency.

After a one-week AFSO21 Rapid Improvement Event, an AFRC integrated process team designed and created the inspection tracking and analysis toolset.

The toolset gives commanders an automated process to report and assess unit compliance effectiveness. It enhances productivity by enabling them to identify and analyze process shortfalls and trends through a time- and cost-saving inspection analysis system.

The command has been field testing the toolset and is making it available on its ReserveNet Web site for commandwide use starting Oct. 1.

Units will have one year to implement the new system, which replaces the Unit Self-Inspection Tracking System. (Air Force Reserve Command News Service)
