An Analysis of the Advice Codes and Priorities Placed on 2Z Cognizance Requisitions.

Abstract

This thesis evaluates the priority and advice code placed on 2Z cog material requisitions in an attempt to determine the magnitude of the impact the lack of spares for 2Z cog material can have on fleet support and the mission capability of fleet units. As the inventory manager for 2Z cog material, NAVELEX's investment in sufficient spares for principal items is constrained by the NAVCOMPT budget policy. This policy severely restricts the number of spares that can be procured to provide support for recurring demand from the fleet. The shortage of spares is accentuated when the end user, due to a survey for loss or damage, does not have a carcass to turn in for repair. Recommendations for enhancing support are given. They include a change to NAVCOMPT's budget policy, a redefinition of principal and secondary items, better utilization by NAVELEX of the Total Carcass Tracking System, and aggressive support by NAVELEX of the stock coordination process. Originator-supplied keywords include: Inventory control, and Principle and secondary items.
