Applying Item Essentiality to Wholesale Levels Setting
Abstract
This analysis develops a method of using Item Essentiality values in computing wholesale Safety Levels. Item Essentiality values signify the importance of an item to the Navy Supply System. Item Mission Essentiality Codes (IMECs) and equipment Mission Criticality Codes (MCCs) were used to develop Item Essentiality values. This analysis recommends Supply Material Availability (SMA) and Average Days Delay (ADD) standards for each item Essentiality value within a two digit Cognizance Symbol (Cog). No group of items received less than protection than currently approved. The recommended effectiveness standards considered Item Essentiality, cost, requisition frequency and procurement leadtime.
