Review of Depot and Base Levels for Low Density/High Reliability Items

Abstract

Headquarters Air Force Communications Agency (AFCA) asked us to review the policies used to establish wholesale and retail stock levels on communications-electronics (C-E) items to determine if the existing worldwide requirements can and should be reduced. Specifically, can the depot floor of two be reduced for some or all C-E items? And, can the base Peacetime Operating Stock level be reduced if there is another base source (e.g., a Readiness Spares Package level) for the item. The objectives are: Determine if base and depot levels on low density/high reliability items can be reduced without hindering mission support. a. Identify and test alternative depot floor policies. b. Identify and test alternative base stockage policies. 2. Recommend changes to existing policy if appropriate.
