STOCKAGE POLICIES FOR MEDIUM AND LOW-COST PARTS
Abstract
This Research Memorandum presents for Air Force consideration some simple and practical proposals for provisioning and distributing - those items for which detailed intensive management is not appropriate, for example, Cost Category II and III items. These policies are complementary to deferred procurement policies for some Category I items. While either could be implemented alone, together they would provide increased supply effectiveness and economy through buying fewer costly parts and investing some of the saving in base stocks of cheap items. They would entail more management and closer control of the expensive parts, but decreaeased material movement, paper processing and priority resupply of the low-cost parts.
