Abstract: UP until this time the Washington Gas Light Company has been trying to operate a transportation department with a little skill, a lot of clerical man-hours, a few accounting-oriented EDP reports, and quite a bit of luck. The time has come, however, to rejoice, because the company is in the piocess of expanding EDP into the transportation department, along with most other departments of the company, oriented to the individual department, not just to accounting. To do this, the WGLCo. has appointed a seven-man task force, which includes five accounting-oriented, from both the accounting department and payroll department the head of the task force from the data processing department, and an outside consultant. In addition as each department becomes involves, the department utilizes someone familiar with the operating practices, to act as liaison. From my standpoint the liaison serves a threefold purpose. First, he explains to the task force the actual procedures of the department, with special emphasis on areas which he feels need improvement over the manual systems. Second, he absorbs the wrath of the five accountants as they discover that many of the well-planned procedures set up by the accounting department had to be changed in the field to make them work. Third, he tells the team what the department would like to know from an eleclronic data processing system.
