Inventory control points are improv- ing the accuracy of information reported to ILSC and are advising DSC--on a more timely basis--of material accepted, rejected, and shipments denied. During fiscal years 1969 - 1971, material valued at $173 million was transferred within and between services under the cen- tralized screening program. In 1969, material transferred was val- ued at $51.9 million. while in 1971 it had increased to $68.1 million. This represents an increase of about 31 percent. However, we believe the program could be more effective if ILSC were to screen requirements for the Defense Supply Agency (ESA) as it does for the other military activities. We believe the inclusion of MSA requirements under the centralized screening program would eliminate the need for separate screenings now performed by DSA centers. During our review, we noted that actions taken by the Army and Air Force have improved the accuracy of the information they are re- '7 porting to DMSC. On the other hand, we noted that the Navy has not improved the accuracy of its information. We are advising you of these matters so that needed management attention will be given to them to further increase the effective- ness of the material utilization program. DENSE SUPPLY AGNCY CENTER PARTICIPATION IN THE CENTRALIZED SCREENING PROGRAM As a means of more effectively determining whether material was available in one service to satisfy the need of another service, BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE 50 TH ANNIVERSARY 1921 -1971
