Abstract
On 1 October, 1979 Navy Supply Center Oakland assumed the wholesale aviation supply function of Naval Air Station Alameda. NSC Oakland and NAS Alameda are prototype activities in a plan to consolidate and
mechanize the wholesale supply functions of collocated Industrial Naval Air Stations and
Navy Supply Centers at Oakland, San Diego, and Norfolk. As part of this consolidation at Oakland, many facets of the associated supply functions have been studied. This report presents the results of a study of the Material Distribution System of the NAS Alameda. It looked at both NAS Alameda's Supply Department and the Naval Air Rework Facility, Alameda. The prime objectives were (1) to define the existing material and document flow to NAS Supply's local customers, including
distances, times and volume, (2) to determine the costs, both direct and indirect and (3) to determine possible improvements. As a consequence, the material and document flow processes have been charted, transportation logs have been examined; and operational costs have been determined. The results of this study indicate that the NAS Alameda Supply Department is efficient and is meeting the imposed standard time requirements. The Naval Air Rework Facility, Alameda has a internal distribution system which appears to lack control and is costly. Areas where improvements might be made and where further study is warranted are identified.
