Pre-Expended Bin Material Management at Naval Air Rework Facilities.

Abstract

Naval Air Rework Facilities (NARFs) are the major industrial component of the Naval Air Systems Command. In the accomplishment of their industrial mission, the NARFs require an extensive range of material to support their various production programs. Low cost, high usage material is managed by a concept known as Pre-Expended Bin (PEB). The PEB material typically receives little management attention and has been the source of criticism from periodic material management audits. Auditors have estimated the value of PEB inventories to be about one million dollars per NARF. This thesis proposes a system to improve PEB management by formalizing the decision rules and providing a method of gathering required demand data. The thesis is concluded with a discussion of some of the implementation considerations of the proposed system. (Author)
