Phased Provisioning

Abstract

Phased provisioning is a management technique used to defer procurement of selected spare and repair parts during initial support of weapon systems, support systems and end items of equipment while still supporting the operation of the weapon system. Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4140. 19, issued in July 1963 and reissued in May 1968, encourages its use by specifying that phased provisioning be included in every applicable contract for optional use by the Government. In the late 1960s, phased provisioning was used on the F-111 aircraft -- the only serious application of the technique. This report describes reasons for phased provisioning disuse, examines the potentially large savings that could be realized from its use, and suggests changes to DoD policy that will foster such use.
