During a recent 2-year period, Atlantic and Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers reported inventory excesses and shortages averaging $154 million and $216 million, respectively. The Navy can save an estimated $114.8 million on future procurement and repair of aviation parts for aircraft carriers over an 18-month period. Also, the large inventory excesses and shortages continuously experienced aboard carriers can be substantially lessened. This can be accomplished, together with a concomitant increase in supply responsiveness, by: (1) improving shipboard managment to insure more stringent requisitioning controls, more timely and accurate updating of inventory records, and more timely cancellation or redistribution of excess stocks; (2) more timely and accurate updating of carrier inventory allowances in response to changes in usage; and (3) improving controls and visibility over aircraft carrier inventories at higher management levels.
