Economic Retention Levels for Army Supply Activities

Abstract

The report derives three stock levels relating to Army long supply on hand at activities below the national inventory control point (NICP) level. These are the transfer level (TL): the quantity on hand above which it is more economical to transfer material to another activity needing it, than to hold it; the reporting level (RL): the level above which stocks on hand above TL should be reported as long supply; and the economic retention level (ERL): the level above which stocks on hand should be disposed of by transfer to a property disposal office, if the NICP instructs the activity to dispose of the item. Recommendations are made for all three levels.
