Air Force Logistics: Base Maintenance Inventories Can Be Reduced

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Dec. 15, 1993
Report No. NSIAD-94-8
Subject
Summary:

The Air Force has not effectively managed bench stocks--supply inventories that military base activities, such as repair shops, purchase from base supply for their own use. Despite the belief that bench stocks should contain frequent-use low-cost items, about 26 percent of the items in bench stocks at the five bases GAO reviewed were rarely used during the past year and about 30 percent of the remaining bench stocks were expensive items. Inventory managers have no idea how many of these items are in bench stocks at a given moment, which may be causing the Air Force to buy new items when the same items are in oversupply in bench stocks. Base supply inventories can be economical alternatives to bench stocks for providing low-usage and high-cost items to maintenance activities. Using base supply inventories instead of bench stocks for these items would reduce overall inventory levels and improve asset visibility without sacrificing the timeliness of the maintenance activities.
