Abstract
In the light of recent emphasis on material accountability in the Navy's supply
system, Naval Supply Centers (NSCs) need a method for evaluating commercial
security practices and adapting them for use in the military environment. Local delivery
is an especially vulnerable stage in the physical distribution process for both
commercial and military activities. This study surveys three commercial local delivery
operations. Private sector local delivery systems studied are described and security
measures they use are discussed in the context of their total system. Their effectiveness
at providing shipment integrity and minimal delivery delay is compared with similar
measures of effectiveness calculated using Naval Supply Center, San Diego delivery
statistics. Where greater comparative effectiveness is observed in commercial
operations, recommendations for adapting commercial procedures to the Navy's system
are offered.
