Stock Fund Operations in the Department of Defense

Abstract

Changes in the conditions under which the DoD stock funds manage repair parts have made obsolete traditional methods of evaluating stock funds requirements, budgets, and performance. These changes include substantial increases in overall requirements, new budget additives, new categories of items managed within the funds, new pricing policies, and new requirements to obtain Congressional appropriation for inventory expansion in support of force growth, modernization, and readiness improvements. Ratio-type indicators for evaluating stock fund requirements and budgets are recommended in the three basic areas of stock fund operations: requirements, inventory, and financial and supply performance. The indicators are defined and evaluated in the context of a thorough descriptive overview of current (FY82-FY86) stock fund operations for repair parts in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defense Logistics Agency. Keywords: Consumables; Inventory Management; Management Indicators; Material Management; Repair Parts; Retail Supply; Revolving Funds; Spares; Stock Funds; Supply Performance; Supply Policy; wholesale Supply.
