Nondemand-Based Stockage Policies.
Abstract
In the past 5 years, nondemand-based items have grown much faster in dollar value than demand-based items. They constitute from 30 to 70 percent of all line items stocked. In addition, to rapid growth, nondemand based items have recently been the subject of an audit report and several studies have criticized the lack of DoD policy. Improvement in the management of nondemand-based items in the DoD requires the resolution of two issues: the relative essentially of items and the depth of stockage for nondemand-based items. This report recommends a DoD-wide system for determining, assigning, and disseminating item essentially based on the composite relationship of the part, component and end item mission essentially. A Military Mission Essentially Code is proposed for use in allocating resources, determining the degree of management intensity, and performance reporting. Proposals for management of nondemand-based items include a series of nondemand-based categories of items with different stockage levels and degrees of management intensity, and variable thresholds for demand-based stockage contingent on the Military Mission Essentially of each item.
