Defense Inventory: Opportunities Exist to Improve the Management of DOD's Acquisition Lead Times for Spare Parts
GAO has identified the Department of Defense's (DOD) management
of its inventory as a high-risk area since 1990 due to
ineffective and inefficient inventory systems and practices.
Management of inventory acquisition lead times is important in
maintaining cost-effective inventories, budgeting, and having
material available when needed, as lead times are DOD's best
estimate of when an item will be received. Under the Comptroller
General's authority to conduct evaluations on his own initiative,
GAO analyzed the extent to which (1) DOD's estimated lead times
varied from actual lead times, and (2) current management actions
and initiatives have reduced lead times as compared to past
years. To address these objectives, GAO computed the difference
between the components' actual and estimated lead times, and
compared component initiatives to reduce lead times for 1994-2002
to 2002-2005.
