The five Army divisions GAO reviewed reduced their authorized inventory levels by about $30 million between 1992 and 1993. These same divisions had about $108 million in inventory that they had received few or no requests for or that involved items that contributed little toward satisfying their customers' needs. Army studies have shown similar results for the large number of inventory items that are infrequently demanded and contribute little toward improving supply responsiveness. These studies recommended that infrequently demanded items be removed from the authorized inventories and that the criteria for determining what items should be stocked be reevaluated. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-129/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-129.htm GAO/NSIAD-94-129 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-129 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-94-129; Army Inventory: Opportunities Exist for Additional Reductions to Retail Level Inventories; Military inventories Army supplies Logistics Army procurement Inventory control systems Internal controls Cost effectiveness analysis Military cost control Property and supply management Federal supply systems Army Total Inventory Management Program
