Abstract
This thesis provides an analysis of policy changes
directed by the Secretary of the Navy and Commander, Navy
Supply Systems Command which have altered the method of
transporting spare parts to overseas locations. In
particular, an analysis is provided of the affect of
resupplying spare parts by surface transportation that had
previously been transported by air. The increase in time
between air and surface transport required to move these
materials is expected to result in the need for increased
inventory levels to maintain the authorized protection. This
thesis identifies the changes in protection levels needed to
maintain an established level of support and attempts to
identify the costs incurred in doing so. Analysis focuses on
secondary item inventories for Intermediate Maintenance
Activity (IMA) support which are maintained by the Naval Air
Station (NAS) Rota Spain Supply Department.
