Management of Repairable Items Used by More Than One Service

Abstract

In 1974, the nonconsumable item program was established with the goal to eliminate the duplication of wholesale materiel management functions for repairable secondary items used by more than one Service. Phase I of the program was to identity each repairable item used by more than one Service and assign each item to a lead Service. The lead Service would be responsible for making procurements of the assigned item for all Services, initiating cataloging changes and authorizing disposal actions. During Phase II of the program, the lead Service was to assume additional responsibilities for depot maintenance, wholesale stockage, and budgeting for replacement and overhaul requirements. As of March 1991, there were about 57,000 items in the program; about 30,900 were managed under Phase I of the program and about 26,100 were managed under Phase II of the program.
