Generation of the Arleigh Burke Destroyer Class Shipboard Phased Replacement Program List

This project is designed to provide a class-wide list of items for inclusion on the Phased Replacement Program PRP for each ship in the DDG 51 Arleigh Burke Class of Guided Missile Destroyers DDG. Current business practice involves the Supply Officer on each ship generating and maintaining an independent ship-specific list. This practice reduces the efficiency in the supply chain for these items by not maximizing the demand and ordering structure. The intention of the generation of a class-wide list is to improve the ordering periodicity and provide visibility for replenishment of these parts at the unit level for further consolidation at the class-wide level for oversight, management, and guidance. Research was conducted using PRP lists gathered during ship visits, review of Naval Surface Forces online financial management Continuous Monitoring Program, and cross referencing the data with Defense Logistics Agencys inventory management databases to validate the PRP items selected for inclusion in the class-wide list for items that should be tracked, stored, and managed on all DDGs. The resulting PRP list is meant to provide a baseline for ship Supply Departments to use and does not include every PRP item that ships must have.
