Army Inventory: Changes to Stock Funding Reparables Would Save Operations and Maintenance Funds (Letter Report, 05/31/94, GAO/NSIAD-94-131). This report reviews the Army's implementation of a Pentagon requirement to fund the procurement of reparable items through a stock fund, called stock funding of depot level reparables. GAO found that the Army's switch to the fund has helped reduce demand for reparable items about 55 percent--from $8.3 billion in fiscal year 1991 to $3.7 billion at the end of fiscal year 1993. The decreased demand allowed the wholesale system to reduce its procurement of reparables by about 75 percent, from $1.8 billion to $443 million during the same period. This report also discusses how the switch has affected management of maintenance and inventory activities and use of operation and maintenance funds at the unit level. --------------------------- Indexing Terms ----------------------------- REPORTNUM: NSIAD-94-131 TITLE: Army Inventory: Changes to Stock Funding Reparables Would Save Operations and Maintenance Funds DATE: 05/31/94 SUBJECT: Military inventories Military materiel Inventory control systems Army procurement Property and supply management Army supplies Federal supply systems Spare parts Military cost control IDENTIFIER: Desert Storm Defense Business Operations Fund M88 Recovery Vehicle Army Integrated Sustainment Maintenance Project ************************************************************************ We regret that the full text of this item is presently unavailable.
