Air Force Measurement of Administrative Lead Time

Abstract

The primary audit objective was to determine whether measures were in place to monitor and, where appropriate, reduce administrative lead time for awarding consumable and repairable spare parts procurement contracts. However, this report discusses only consumable items. Repairable items are not discussed in tins report because repairable items are procured differently than consumable items, and because the Air Force acquisition process for repairable items is different from the acquisition process for repairable items at the other Military Departments and the Defense Logistics Agency. Repairable items will be discussed in a summary report on administrative lead time. We also evaluated the management controls established for administrative lead time. A subsequent report will discuss administrative lead time at 16 DoD inventory control points and actions needed to reduce administrative lead time throughout DoD.
