This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ministry of Defence is buying more inventory than it uses and not consistently disposing of stock it no longer needs. Between the end of March 2009 and the end of December 2011 the total value of the inventory held by the armed forces and in central depots of non-explosives increased by 13 per cent, from £17.2 billion to £19.5 billion. The Department estimates that for raw material and consumable inventory, such as clothing or ammunition, it has spent £4 billion between April 2009 and March 2011, but did not use £1.5 billion (38 per cent) worth. The NAO estimates that the costs of storing and managing inventory were at least £277 million in 2010-11. Furthermore, over £4.2 billion of non-explosive inventory has not moved at all for at least two years and a further £2.4 billion of non-explosive inventory already held is sufficient to last for five years or more. During 2010 and 2011, the MOD identified inventory worth a total of £1.4 billion that could either be sold or destroyed, but it was unable to information on the value of the stock that had been destroyed. MOD has already introduced improvements but strategies and performance reporting do not yet focus on effective inventory management. There are also few targets for monitoring the efficiency of inventory management. The Department has commissioned a review to establish and sustain more cost effective inventory management and plans to implement its recommendations by March 2013

Book excerpt: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procures and manages large supplies of spare parts to keep military equipment ready and operating. This report identified supply chain management as a high-risk area due in part to high levels of inventory beyond what is needed to support requirements and problems in accurately forecasting demand for spare parts. The objectives were to: (1) determine the extent to which DLA's inventory of spare parts reflects the amount needed to support requirements; and (2) identify causes, if applicable, for DLA's having spare parts inventory that does not align with requirements. The report analyzed DLA inventory data for FY 2006 through 2008. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) management of its inventories that support its operating forces. GAO found that: (1) DOD has achieved some inventory reductions, but it has made little overall progress in correcting long-standing inventory management problems that perpetuate overbuying, excessive supply storage, and waste; (2) inventory funding and levels have remained high despite the downsizing of military forces; (3) DOD has failed to give its personnel the the tools and incentives to properly manage inventory; (4) the two main DOD initiatives have not yet delivered the full benefits that they were expected to, and need much more management attention; (5) DOD still lacks adequate inventory oversight and financial accountability; and (6) although DOD has had some success using commercial inventory practices, it needs to be more aggressive in changing its inventory management culture in order to ensure high levels of readiness within existing resource constraints and to take advantage of new management practices, technologies, and logistics systems.

Book excerpt: Since 1990, the DoD¿s inventory managemetn system has been considered a high-risk area. It is critical that the military services effectively and efficiently manage DoD's secondary inventory to ensure that the warfighter is supplied with the right items at the right time and to maintain good stewardship over the billions of dollars invested in their inventory. This report reviews the Army's management of secondary inventory and determined: (1) the extent to which on-hand and on-order secondary inventory reflected the amount needed to support current requirements; and (2) causes for the Army having secondary inventory that exceeded current requirements or, conversely, for having inventory deficits. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1990, we have identified Department of Defense (DOD) inventory management as a high-risk area because levels of inventory were too high and management systems and procedures were ineffective. This report assesses the Department's efforts to implement the maintenance, repair, and operations prime vendor program. Specifically, we determined (1) how much the program is being used and how selected installations are using the program and (2) whether DOD has a mechanism for evaluating the program's effectiveness relative to other procurement alternatives and for identifying and addressing implementation obstacles. We examined the implementation of the prime vendor program at 11 military installations, and although the results of this analysis cannot be extrapolated to the entire program, they provide first-hand accounts that illustrate the actual impact of the program and highlight accomplishments and opportunities for improvement.
