Actions Taken by DoD on GAO Recommendations to Improve Spare Parts Requirements Determination.
Abstract
GAO found that actions taken by the military services and DOD to improve the spare parts requirements determination process, in response to prior GAO report recommendations, have resulted in estimated cost savings of over $800 million during the past 5 years. Additional actions in process should result in further estimated savings of over $500 million. Title of actions include: Millions of Dollars Can Be Saved by Improved Management of Aircraft Carrier Inventories; Navy's Budget Requests for Revised Shipboard Allowances are Overstated; The Services Should Improve Their Processes for Determining Requirements for Supplies and Spare Parts; Air Force Uses Inaccurate Production Lead Time to Compute Spare Parts Requirements; Continued Improvements Needed in Air Force Procedures and Practices for Identifying and Canceling Excess On Order Stocks; Improved Processes Can Reduce Requirements for Air Force War Reserve Spare Parts; and the Army Requirements for War Reserve materiel Can be Reduced Without Impairing Combat Effectiveness.
