Evaluation of the MCO (Maintenance Criticality Oriented) COSAL (coordinated Shipboard Allowance List) Policy

Abstract

This study evaluates the Maintenance Criticality Oriented (MCO) coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL) policy. The objective was to determine the impact on peacetime Fleet support of using MCO COSAL (with current or modified parameters) in lieu of Fleet Logistics Support Improvement Program (FLSIP) COSAL or MOD-FLSIP COSAL. Impact statements were made in terms of potential for reductions in Casualty Reporting (CASREP) requisition and increases in effectiveness. The study showed that MOD-FLSIP stocked more CASREP items than FLSIP OR MCO. MCO COSAL produced higher range, lower cost, and better overall requisition effectiveness than FLSIP or MOD-FLSIP, but MOD-FLSIP had higher Depot Level Repairable (DLR) effectiveness. Since satisfying CASREP requisition from on-board stock is considered the most important Fleet support measure, FMSO recommends that MOD-FLSIP be used as the standard COSAL policy for all FFG-7 class ships.
