Defense Logistics: Plan to Improve Management of Defective Aviation Parts Should Be Enhanced

Abstract

GAOs review of the Defense Logistics Agencys (DLA) management of defective aviation parts found that DLAs plan for corrective action partially addresses each of the four elements in the House report regarding deficiencies in DLAs management of defective aviation parts. These elements relate to: (1) coordinating and pursuing restitution; (2) searching inventory to identify and remove defective parts; (3) returning defective parts to contractors for replacement; and (4) tracking the status of returns and determining the appropriate form of restitution.
