Nonconformances of Resistors, Semiconductors, and Connectors Managed by the Defense Logistics Agency.

Abstract

The Defense Electronics Supply Center (DESC) managed electronics inventory valued at $2.1 billion at the beginning of FY 1991. The inventory consisted of 980,000 National Stock Numbers (NSNs). The technical assessment tested nonconformances in three Federal supply classes (FSCs) of electronics parts (resistors, semiconductors, and connectors) drawn from DLA warehouses. In FY 1991, DESC spent $75 million to acquire 11.6 million items for 22,775 NSNs in the three FSCs. Objectives. The primary objective of the assessment was to determine the percentage of nonconforming parts delivered in FY 1991 in each of the three electronics parts Federal supply classes. An additional objective was to assess differences in the percentage of nonconforming electronics parts between those items manufactured to military specifications and those items manufactured to commercial specifications.
