An Analysis of Material Distribution from Naval Supply Center, Oakland to Local Customers.
Abstract
This document examines the existing material distribution functions associated with providing supply support to the local customers of the Naval Supply Center, Oakland (NSCO). The analysis is intended to become an integral part in the formulation of a comparison baseline for assessing a proposed general tidewater distribution system. Material and document flows to local customers are identified in terms of volumes of business, distances traveled, and times involved. The existing material transportation system is analyzed and alternate delivery methods are discussed. The costs attributable to local delivery operations are examined, and Mare Island Naval Shipyard (MINS), NSCO's largest local customer, is discussed in depth. Conclusions and recommendations have been made regarding the favorability of the existing delivery method, the overall cost of local delivery, the level of supply support for MINS, the need for more discrete cost data, and the potential for greater cost savings at local industrial activities.
