XB3 Items with a Positive Demand Level and a Reorder Point of Zero

Abstract

There are situations when Air Force retail supply systems, the Standard Base Supply System (SBSS) and the Wholesale and Retail Receiving/Shipping System (D035K), compute a zero re-order point for consumable (XB3) items with positive demand levels. This might cause preventable backorders, including mission capable (MICAP) and awaiting parts (AWP) due-outs. The report objectives are to determine the number and mission impact of items with a reorder point of zero and compare the cost to increase the reorder point to the benefit of reduced backorders.
