Required Delivery Dates in Requisitions for Secondary Items of Supply Inventory.

Abstract

The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics) expressed concern about the lack of attention given to the required delivery date (RDD) by individuals and organizations involved in submitting and filling requisitions for supply items. The RDD indicates when requisitioned items are required by the requester. The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics) believed that properly using and meeting RDDs would minimize customers' wait time and enhance warfighters' confidence in the DoD supply system. To facilitate the audit, we judgmentally selected Army requisitions issued in November 1998 and April 1999 to be the audit universe. Of the 821,000 requisitions in the universe, we took four judgmental samples that would provide data concerning customer use of RDDs (Fort Bragg and Fort Hood samples) and concerning DoD supply organizations' response to customer RDDs (Defense Supply Center, Philadelphia, and Tank-automotive and Armaments Command samples). See Appendixes A and B for details about the universe and selection of the judgmental samples.
