FBM Support Improvement,

Abstract

Supply support goals have been established for support of the FBM (Fleet Ballistic Missile) submarine force. Seeking to attain these goals, NSC Charleston has developed and applied unique policies. These include a form of stock rationing and other preferential techniques. In spite of best efforts, the assigned goals have not been met. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current and alternative management schemes to determine whether cost-effective methods can be found to improve supply support. It was found that the NSC Charleston technique of stock rationing and the other special rules do improve supply support. One cost-effective change was discovered and is recommended for implementation.
