Navy Can Improve Management of Nonaviation Depot-Level Repairable Spares.

Abstract

The Navy manages about 82,000 nonaviation depot-level repairable spares, such as generators, transmitters, and circuit card assemblies. These items, valued at about $5.6 billion, are designated as repairable if future requirements can be met more economically through depot repair than through procurement. Because of the large Navy investment in nonaviation depot-level repairable spares, we undertook this review to determine how well the Navy manages these items. Our review shows that changes in management practices and procedures for these repairable spares would result in substantial savings.
