REPORT BY THE U.S,



General Accounting Office






Additional Improvements Needed

,In Logistics Support,,For The

Strategic Petroleum Reserve


Planning maintenance and spare parts acqui-
sition activities (logistics support) for equipment
associated with large projects, such as the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve, should be inte-
grated with the initial design phase of the project
to reduce support costs and increase the re-
liability of the system.

This report discusses the delays in the Depart-
ment of Energy's efforts to develop an integrated
logistics support system and the resultant dif-
ficulties encountered in acquiring, controlling,
and protecting spare and repair parts for the
Reserve The Department has made some im-
provements in its management of logistics
support activities, but an integrated logistics
support system for the Reserve still had not been
completed as of March 1984

GAO recommends that the Department more
closely monitor the development of a new
Reserve storage site to ensure that integrated
logistics support is fully incorporated prior to the
start of operations It also recommends im-
provements in the Department's management of
its logistics-related contract
