Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to adopt best inventory management practices, focusing on: (1) whether DOD has adopted the specific practices recommended for consumable items; (2) the savings and benefits being achieved through the use of these practices; and (3) DOD overall progress in improving consumable item management. GAO found that: (1) the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has taken steps to improve its logistics practices and reduce consumable inventories, although it could make further improvements with items such as bolts, valves, and fuses that cost millions of dollars to manage and store; (2) DLA inventories are expected to decrease only 20 percent by 1997, but these inventories could last over two years; (3) DLA has not tested the most innovative commercial practices of using supplier parks and other techniques that give established distribution networks the responsibility to manage, store, and distribute inventory on a frequent basis directly to end users; (4) DLA use of best inventory practices is exemplified for personnel items where prime vendors are used to supply personnel items directly to military facilities; (5) DLA expects to reduce the 1992 personnel item inventory by 53 percent in 1997; and (6) DOD hospitals still hold larger inventories than those civilian hospitals that have reduced inventories through effective partnering arrangements with prime vendors.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the 11th in a series of reports comparing the Department of Defense's (DOD) logistics practices with those of the private sector. We are continuously examining DOD'S inventory management practices to identify areas where costs can be reduced and problems can be avoided by using leading private sector practices. This report focuses on DOD'S progress in adopting best inventory management practices for hardware items such as bearings, valves, and bolts. The objectives of this review were to determine (1) DOD and private sector practices for managing hardware items, (2) whether DOD has adopted best practices for these items, and (3) opportunities that DOD can take advantage of to improve its management of hardware items. While DOD has implemented some innovative management practices, more opportunities exist to better manage its reported 5 - 7 Billion hardware inventory and achieve substantial savings. 2. DOD continues to manage its hardware inventory using outdated and inefficient business practices that create unnecessary inventory levels, provide poor customer service, generate excess and obsolete inventory, and cost approximately $1 billion per year to manage and distribute. DOD buys hardware inventory years in advance of when the items are actually used. For example, based on our analyses of DOD records, 62 percent of DOD'S hardware items did not have a demand from September 1995 to August 1996, and an additional 21 percent of the items had enough inventory to last for more than 2 years. These items account for about $4.4 billion, or 77 percent, of DOD'S $5.7 billion hardware inventory. Despite DOD'S substantial investment in inventory, in many cases, hardware inventory is not available when needed by DOD customers.
