The Navy0s special programs for intensified management
of material in the supply system have the objectives of
expediting repairs of equipment components and nodules and
improving supply readiness. A study sought to determine if the
programs were ac;omplishiug their objectives and were cest
effective. The study concentrated on the Closed Loop
Aeronautical Management Program (CLASP), developed by the
Aviation Supply Office, which was designed to insure one-for-one
exchange of repairable items# impreve retrograde control#
enforce system discipline, and identify failure causes for
designated items. No formal cost- benefit analyses comparing
alternative methods of achieving program objectives sere made.
the Navy had no benefit tracking system for evaluating the
programs; and perfornance indicators did not cenclusively
demonstrate the programs' effectiveness. Recently, the Pleet
Material Support Office was asked to develop a benefit tracking
system, but it has not yet been approved. Service items were
sometimes returned erroneously to a repair contractors and other
items were shipped to the wrong repair facility. The Secretary
of the Navy should takR action to ezpedite completicn of an
evaluation system to accurately measure benefits from wanagesent
programs. (BTU)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxvp0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
