Abstract
The responsibility for the expenditure of funds for the production of training films, the making of release prints, and the purchase of miscellaneous items in connection with the Navy's training film program is centered in the Procurement Section of the Training Film Branch. This Section, with a personnel of thirteen, consisting of officers, enlisted men, and civilians, operates in much the same manner as an efficiently run purchasing office of a large commercial organization. However, film producers have had to learn that the basis of their dealings with the Navy differs radically from the manner in which they had been accustomed to dealing with their commercial customers. From its inception, the Procurement Section has applied much of its energies to “indoctrinating” producers in Navy procurement policies and procedures. The Procurement Section has been almost constantly beset with various problems, some of which were inherently problems of the Section, but many of which were problems merely because they were the problems of producers. At the present time, however, most of the problems have been solved to such an extent that commercial producers of Navy training films are operating on an efficient basis that assures them a reasonable profit. At the same time, the Navy is getting the most for its training film dollar in quality, quantity, and timeliness.
