Repair Parts Support for Commercial and Commercial Modified Engineer Construction Equipment.
Abstract
The purpose of this study report was to review and evaluate the impact of repair parts provisioning and supply procedures on cost, order-ship-time and equipment readiness for engineer construction equipment. Emphasis was placed on cataloging cost associated with initial provisioning and the logistic support procedures currently used by the army to provide repair parts at the retail level, i.e., the organizational, direct and general support and depot levels for CONUS and OCONUS activities. The study results indicate that readiness considerations are the primary determinants of the current policies, that the current support policies are most compatible with the support requirements of military designed equipment and that significant cost savings could be realized by capitalizing on the existing manufacturers supply and support systems. Recommendations are made for possible approaches to providing improved support at reduced costs through greater use of commercial supply procedures, publications and sources. (Author)
