Management of the DOD Action Plan for Improving the Quality of Spare Parts

Abstract

The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition signed the DOD Action Plan for Continuously Improving the Quality of Spare and Repair Parts (the DoD Action Plan) on March 2, 1990. The DoD Action Plan was developed in response to large numbers of nonconforming products identified in the Defense Supply System by an Office of the Inspector General, DoD, report. The DoD Action Plan consists of 26 objectives that focus on improving key segments of the DoD quality assurance program. The DoD Action Plan was presented in March 1991 to the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs as the overall DoD policy plan for continuously improving the quality of spare and repair parts. In addition, the Office of the Inspector General, DoD, accepted implementation of the DoD Action Plan as satisfactory management response to audit recommendations designed to improve the quality assurance of spare and repair parts procurements. Each of the Military Departments and the Defense Logistics Agency issued its own action plan to implement the DoD Action Plan.
