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.

Download or read book Defense Inventory Services Generally Have Reduced Excess Inventory But Additional Actions Are Needed written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-07 with total page 92 pages. 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.

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: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed whether the Army's inventory levels of demand-based items are excessive and whether those inventory levels could be reduced without impairing military readiness. GAO found that: (1) $28.8 million of demand-based items do not meet retention criteria; (2) the Army's annual assessment of internal controls did not identify as a material weakness the issue of retaining items that did not meet the criteria for demand-based inventory; (3) demand-based items represent a relatively large percentage of total inventory but a relatively small percentage of the inventory issued to the divisions' customers; (4) the Army does not have a policy regarding inventory turnover rates; (5) few demand-based items were requisitioned on a priority basis, which would indicate equipment was inoperable or a unit was unable to perform its mission due to a lack of parts; (6) in the absence of a single supply system, retail-level activities were stocking unneeded items and not reporting all excess inventory to the wholesale level for possible redistribution, and Army managers at the wholesale level were buying items that were excess at the retail level; (7) the Army is in the process of implementing a system which will provide superior responsiveness to the supply system customer at reduced costs and enable the single supply system item manager to direct the redistribution of assets among retail activities; (8) the sparing to availability (STA) concept would increase the number of authorized inventory items; and (9) STA would increase the discretion of the unit commander at the retail level for determining the composition of the authorized inventory.

Book excerpt: DLA manages about one-fifth of DOD's $95 billion in secondary item inventory, such as spare parts to keep military equipment ready and operating. GAO has identified DOD supply-chain management as a high-risk area due in part to ineffective and inefficient inventory-management practices and weaknesses in forecasting the demand for spare parts. These factors have contributed to the creation of on-order and on-hand excess inventory. GAO was asked to review DLA's inventory-management practices. GAO reviewed, among other things, the extent to which DLA has (1) developed and met goals to reduce on-hand inventory and on-order excess inventory while reducing backorders, and any challenges faced in doing so, and (2) implemented initiatives using a comprehensive management approach to improve inventory management. GAO analyzed inventory data from 2009 through 2013, evaluated DLA's inventory processes, and interviewed DLA and DOD officials.
