Budgeting for Repairable Secondary Items at the Naval Electronic Systems Command.

Abstract

The Naval Electronic Systems Command (NAVELEX) manages both principal and repairable secondary items but has not been able to obtain funding for procuring new secondary items to replace those which are no longer repairable. It has also been only able to obtain level funding for repairs. It is estimated that this has resulted in an annual shortfall of $18 million. This study recommends that determination of secondary items to be managed by NAVELEX be postponed until provisioning of the parent principal item. The budget for repair pipeline and initial attritions of these secondary items could then be justified as a spares procurement line item. The use of the stratification program of the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is recommended for budget justification for both post-provisioning replenishment procurements and repairs of these secondary items.
