Abstract
Navy Stock Points are vital links in the Navy's supply/
maintenance network; their performance has a direct impact
on supply response time and operational availability of
fleet equipment. One of the major functions performed at a
stock point is the commercial acquisition of non-standard
material. This thesis examines the production process at a
Navy Stock Point that acquires non-standard material as a
system and as a series of functional organizations.
Three automated management control systems are employed
at Navy Stock Points to facilitate the inventory control,
material acquisition, and accounting processes involved in
the commercial acquisition production process. Each of
these control systems was independently designed to perform
a specialized function within the stock point structure.
This thesis discusses each system, UADPS-SP, APADE II, and
IDA, their individual development and the interfaces between
them.
The main thrust of this thesis is to determine if the
total logistic effort could be improved by integrating three
independent systems into one production oriented system to
better control the commercial acquisition of non-standard
material at Navy Stock Points.
