Stockage Policy Analysis.

Abstract

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review of the FY 1980 Defense Budget resulted in the preparation of several OMB staff issue papers citing possible 'efficiencies' in management of the Defense Department. In particular, Issue Paper No. 10, entitled 'Supply System Efficiencies' identified several areas where OMB believed improved management practices were possible. This paper concluded that the Department of Defense (DoD) should reassess certain existing supply policies and practices, emphasize incentives to improve inventory management controls and reduce certain inventories maintained as a 'hedge' against unforeseen variations in usage. In conjunction with the OMB staff, the Working Group identified the specific areas of supply management policies and practices which OMB believed required detailed review. It has been a consistent objective of this analysis to provide a positive, comprehensive response to the OMB issues. The Working Group believes this objective has been realized. The following provides a summary of the issues as stated by OMB and the Working Group responses to these issues.
