Supply Support of Aviation Components Awaiting Parts
Abstract
The objectives were to determine if supply support procedures in wholesale and retail supply systems were adequate and complied with, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the systems established to manage components in an awaiting parts status. We also evaluated applicable internal controls. We statistically sampled 246 reparable aviation components, at 5 aviation repair depots, from the universe of 16,013 reparable aviation components reported by the inventory control activities in condition code G. Of the 12 aviation repair depots operated by the Military Departments, we included two depots each from the Navy and Air Force and the one aviation depot operated by the Army. The sites selected and the sampling plan are described in Appendix B. From the sample of 246 reparable aviation components, we selected 280 outstanding requisitions, initiated primarily during 1988 and 1989, for repair parts needed to fix the components. We limited our sample to a maximum of two requisitions per component. Of the 280 requisitions, we were able to review 238, which involved 200 different parts managed by 8 inventory control points (ICP's) (Appendix C). The remaining 42 requisitions were for parts managed by 8 ICP's that we did not visit. At the ICP's we reviewed stock status reports, requisition history reports, and contractual information; and we interviewed personnel who were responsible for the supply support of the reparable components in our sample. We also reviewed inventory records of DLA managed repair parts that were acquired by the Military Departments and stocked at the Navy and Air Force supply support centers. We also reviewed inventory records of repair parts stocked at the 5 aviation repair depots to determine if parts were available from these sources to repair the 246 components in our sample.
