This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when U.S. military forces and their equipment are in high demand, effective management of the Department of Defense's (DOD) inventory is critical to ensure that the warfighter has the right items at the right time. The Air Force is the largest contributor to DOD's total on-hand inventory on the basis of inventory value. Under the statutory authority of the Comptroller General to conduct evaluations on his own initiative, GAO determined the extent to which (1) the Air Force's on-order and on-hand inventory reflect the amount of inventory needed to support required inventory levels from fiscal years 2002 through 2005, and (2) the Air Force had shortages in its inventory needed to support required levels during this period. To address these objectives GAO analyzed Air Force secondary inventory data (spare parts such as engines and guided missiles) from fiscal years 2002 through 2005. GAO recommends that the Air Force take four specific actions to strengthen the accountability and improve the management of its secondary inventory. DOD generally concurred with our recommendations. However, we do not believe DOD's planned actions fully respond to two of the recommendations in our report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Army, Navy, and Air Force are responsible for about $78 billion of DOD's $98 billion in secondary item inventory, such as spare parts needed to maintain military equipment. GAO identified DOD supply chain management as a high-risk area due in part to ineffective and inefficient inventory management practices that have contributed to high levels of excess inventory relative to total inventory. DOD established goals to reduce the percentages of both on-hand and on-order excess inventory. GAO was asked to review DOD's inventory management practices. This report assesses the extent to which the services have (1) reduced on-hand excess inventory consistent with DOD goals, (2) reduced on-order excess inventory consistent with DOD goals, (3) balanced the timely availability of spare parts with supply chain costs in their inventory management metrics, and (4) implemented and monitored key improvement efforts. GAO analyzed inventory data from September 2009 through March 2014; evaluated the services' inventory processes; and interviewed service and OSD officials"--Preliminary page.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed Department of Defense (DOD) aircraft parts inventories, focusing on the causes of unrequired inventory growth and how to minimize it. GAO found that: (1) the Air Force's unrequired aircraft parts inventories increased 204 percent between 1980 and 1988, from $9.2 billion to $28 billion; (2) overstated use rates caused 31 percent of unrequired stock growth; (3) an increase in economically reparable items accounted for 16 percent of unrequired stocks; (4) recent reductions in Air Force war reserve requirements produced 10 percent of unrequired stocks; (5) improvements in parts reliability accounted for 8 percent of unnecessary stocks; (6) the Air Force and the Navy were not effectively identifying and terminating orders for unrequired items; (7) the Air Force's overestimated procurement lead times for 5 of 29 unrequired items contributed to the growth of unnecessary inventories; (8) for 3 of 22 items, the Navy procured quantities that exceeded economic order requirements; (9) DOD and Air Force reporting initiatives to reclassify some unrequired items as required items could hinder the identification of unrequired stock; (10) the Air Force's aircraft parts inventories were growing beyond current-year and wartime requirements; and (11) the Air Force's spending guidelines encouraged earlier purchases, multiyear contracts, and discounted quantity buys, thereby increasing the likelihood of unrequired stock growth.
