Special Program Requirements for Logistic Support

Abstract

Major objectives of the DOD wholesale supply system are to promptly satisfy customer requirements and to maintain a minimum investment in inventory. Accomplishing those objectives depends on the wholesale inventory management activities ability to accurately forecast future requirements. The forecasts are based on historical demand data that the inventory management activities have accumulated and advance planning data that the Military Departments' program managers and the using activities have submitted concerning future operating plans, including special programs and projects. The advance planning data relate to requirements that an inventory management activity could not anticipate and provide for if it based future inventory requirement forecasts solely on historical demand data. Special Program Requirements (SPR) represent one of the principal methods that DoD uses to arrange for future supply support from wholesale inventory management activities, especially from those in the Defense Logistics Agency (the Agency).
