Defense Inventory: Navy Logistics Strategy and Initiatives Need to Address Spare Parts Shortages
Abstract
The Navy's servicewide strategic plan does not specifically address means to mitigate critical spare parts shortages. Its 2001 plan contained strategic goals, objectives, and performance measures, but the service did not use it to systematically manage implementation of logistics reform initiatives. The Navy is developing a new logistics strategic plan, but this document has not yet been published. Consequently, the service presently lacks an effective top-level plan that integrates a specific focus on mitigating spare parts shortages into its logistics transformation initiatives. Without such a plan, the Navy lacks guidance necessary to ensure its logistics initiatives mitigate critical spare parts shortages.
