S&S- 7
The Supply & Storage Joint Cross Service Group looked at the responsibility for
consumable and depot level reparable item management across the Department of
Defense. This recommendation, together with elements of a base closure
recommendation, supports the migration of the remaining Service Consumable Items to
the oversight and management of a single DoD agency/activity. This proposal moves
select Inventory Control Point functions (Budget/Funding, Contracting, Cataloging,
Requisition Processing, Customer Services, Item Management, Stock Control, Weapon
System Secondary Item Support, Requirements Determination, and Integrated Materiel
Management Technical Support) to DLA. A number of Inventory Control Point
functions (Allowance/Initial Supply Support List Development, Configuration
Management, User Engineering Support, Provisioning, and User Technical Support) will
be retained by the Services to maintain the appropriate critical mass to perform
requirements and engineering. In addition, this recommendation realigns or relocates the
procurement management and related support functions for the procurement of DLRs to
DLA. For both consumable items and the procurement management of DLRs, this
recommendation provides the opportunity to further consolidate Service and DLA
Inventory Control Points by supply chain type. Defense Supply Center Columbus, OH
(DSCC), manages the Maritime and Land supply chain, the Defense Supply Center
Richmond, VA (DSCR), manages the Aviation supply chain, and Defense Supply Center
Philadelphia, PA (DSCP), manages the Troop Support supply chain. The realignment
should provide labor savings through transfer in place (application of standard labor rates
across Inventory Control Points, headquarters staff reductions, and consolidation of
support functions), reduce labor and support costs (from site consolidation) and business
process improvements, such as consolidation of procurement under a single inventory
materiel manager, reduction of disposal costs, and improved stock positioning. Savings
related to overhead/support functions, especially at those locations where physical
realignments occur at a lead center can be anticipated. Finally, this recommendation
supports transformation by transferring procurement management of all Service DLRs to
a single DoD agency/activity.
