Development of Single Supply System Stock Funding Procedures for Depot- Level Reparables under a Centralized General Support Management Activity
Abstract
This study investigated the applicability of adopting a single supply stock funding procedure for depot-level reparables within the Department of the Army. A subjective comparison was made of a major proposal for depot-level reparable stock funding developed under contract by the Logistics Management Institute, in association with the Strategic Logistics Agency, and a modified version of that proposal later submitted by the Strategic Logistics Agency. Each proposal was appraised for its affect on adaptability to a single supply system, centralization of management functions, interoperability with other services, and speed of implementation. Field test results and early studies in stock funding were used in the analysis. Using a numerical decision-making process, whereby a point-value was assigned for the given evaluation criteria, the investigation revealed that of the two proposals the Logistics Management Proposal best suited current Army needs. The study further revealed that a centralized management policy under a vertical supply system for stock funding of depot-level reparables would seem more effective and appropriate than a decentralized, horizontal supply system.
