Lehman The Secretary of the Navy II I i Dear Mr. Secretary; 114979 Subject: 4anagement of Repairable Spare Aircraft Components Needs To Be Improved (PLRD-81-17) We have reviewed the Navy's management of repairable spare aircraft components, including operational support inventory items and rotatable pool items. Although the management of these components has been the subject of past reviews, serious weaknesses still exist. Much of the operational stock inventory material is excess to authorized allowances, and many of the allowances are higher than can be justified based on demand. At one air station, this excess totaled $9 million. These problems exist in spite of the fact that much of the material is managed under the Closed Loop Aeronautical Management Program (CLAMP), a program of intensified management for critical mission essential repairable components. Neither the Aviation Supply Office (ASO) nor the responsible base supply activities have kept accurate records of the rotatable spare material at the naval air rework facilities. In order to properly manage repairable components and to achieve optimum use of available spares funding, allowances should be established and periodically adjusted to reflect experienced or projected demand. Material excess to activities' needs should be released to the supply system for redistribu- tion and action should be taken to improve visibility over rotatable pool items. BACKGROUND Prior to 1977, rotatable pools of spare repairable com- ponents were authorized to support aircraft maintenance at both the depot level and the organizational and intermediate level. Pool items at the depot level were recorded on station supply (943082) K/
