Transfer of the Management of Consumable Items to the Defense Logistics Agency.
Abstract
In July 1990, the Deputy Secretary of Defense approved the transfer of approximately 1.2 million Service-managed consumable items from the Services to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The transfer of the consumable items was one of the recommendations of the Defense Management Report Decision 926, "Consolidation of Inventory Control Points," which maintained that DLA could manage the Services consumable items with less resources than the Services used. The total savings projected from the consumable item transfer during FYs 1991 through 1995 was 318.7 million, mainly from personnel reductions. In Phase I of the transfer, all Category I consumable items (about 981,000 items that did not meet a DoD Item Management Code filter) would be transferred to DLA over 3 years commencing in mid-1991. This category was comprised of the least complex consumable items. In Phase II, scheduled to commence in 1994, Category II items (items that met the DoD Item Management Code filter) were to be reviewed to identify items requiring continued Service management. Items not needing continued Service management were to be transferred to DLA after 1994. The first increment of Phase I items was transferred to DLA in August 1991.
