Our work was performed at four Air Force bases--Seymour- Johnson at Goldsboro, North Carolina; Langley at Hampton, Virginia; Carswell at Fort Worth, Texas; and Dyess at Abi- lene, Texas--and included the following steps. --Examining Air Force procedures for disposal of excess bench stock. --Querying civilian employees on their knowledge of im- proper disposals and their views regarding the ade- quacy of procedures for disposal of bench stock. --Conducting physical inspections of shops and dis- posal yards for evidence of improper disposal of bench stock. --Determining the extent of internal reviews of bench stock procedures. Summarized below are the results of our review. AIR FORCE PROCEDURES FOR DISPOSAL OF EXCESS BENCH STOCK According to Air Force guidelines, bench stock items left over from completed jobs can be placed in a residue sec- tion of the work area. These items can be held for a period of 180 days before a determination is made to either retain the items, if some usage has been experienced, or dispose of them. This in effect makes the items available in the work area for future needs and also eliminates any accounting pro- cedures associated with returning material to the supply sys- tem. 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-197113
