In responding to our report, the Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense 5 (Installations and Logistics) said the Navy was aware of the problems identified and was taking corrective action. A He agreed that substantial dollar savings could be realized by improving the management and operation of the naval air /c-) rework facilities and that excess facility capacity should be eliminated or placed in a reserve status as appropriate. + Limited followup effort at two rework facilities, visits to command levels within the Department of the Navy, and re- views of Naval Audit Service reports and other internal Navy audits indicate that some of the topics discussed in our 1975 report need additional attention, especially excess depot capacity and the concurrent rework of aircraft components. EXCESS DEPOT CAPACITY Prior report: conclusions, recommendations, and Defense comments We concluded that depot capacity far exceeded mobiliza- tion needs and proposed several alternatives which could reduce in-house capacity needs without compromising readi- ness. We recommended, in part, that the Secretary of Defense (1) consolidate, eliminate, or place in reserve status, as appropriate, all excess depot capacity and (2) concentrate modernization funds in only those depots with long-term value. 1/Navy Aircraft Overhaul Depots Could Be More Productive (LCD-75-432, Dec. 23, 1975). 11, I l8 (947366) 110998 LOGISTICS AND COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION B-113014
