Analysis of the United States Navy Uniform Inventory Control Program and a Proposed Repair/Procurement Interface Model.
Abstract
The U.S. Navy inventory control of repairable items at the Inventory Control Point level is accomplished with the aid of the Uniform Inventory Control Program. The paper analyzed the the existing Uniform Inventory Control Program's implied repairable model. Also, the nature of a Repair/Procurement Interface for management of repairable items was analyzed. Under a substitution and a cyclic system repair requirements determination assumption, characteristics of the interface were noted and principles of operation were developed. From these principles, a proposed model was conceived which provides equations and decision rules to obtain procurement and repair policies. (Author)
