Shelf-Life Item Management Program - A Re-Examination,

Abstract

In response to concern of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress that defense materiel is being lost due to expiration of shelf life, a series of Department of Defense studies were undertaken with the objective of establishing a comprehensive shelf-life management program. The Military Departments and the Defense Supply Agency, in attempting to implement the DoD Instruction and report on their respective Shelf-Life Item Management Programs, experienced numerous difficulties. In this context, the DSA Analysis Division was directed to conduct an objective and comprehensive re-examination of the Program with a view toward: Simplifying the shelf-life item management program; Definitizing criteria for designating shelf-life items; Clarifying reporting requirements. The results of this re-examination are contained herein with specific recommendations for revising the DoD Instruction governing the shelf-life item management program. (Author)
