Abstract:

Tenders are currently required to offload ULS Unauthorized Long Supply material at least every 90 days. This study evaluates variations in the timing of offloads, the value of the Economic Retention Level used in computing the ULS quantity, and various parameters used in computing an items authorized inventory levels. Alternative offload policies were evaluated in terms of the impact on 1 dollar investment in on-hand plus due-in stock 2 number of items offloaded 3 dollar value of items offloaded 4 number of resupply orders and Direct Turnover requisitions 5 gross requisition effectiveness 6 gross unit effectiveness and 7 net total cost. Analyses were conducted for an FBM Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine tender and an attack submarine tender. The study identified seven alternative policies which reduced the number of current offloads by over 50 with no decrease in effectiveness and less than 2 growth in inventory dollar value. The most significant factor in these seven alternatives was an adjustment in the Economic Retention Level from the current value of 10 to 50 or 100. Author
