Abstract
Numerical control, a recent automation innovation, has been lauded for
its advantages in reducing production costs. The application of numerical
control to one facet of the Navy inventory management has been examined with
a view to using numerical control programs in lieu of stock for certain
items. The study concludes that the method proposed presents a practicable
method of reducing total inventory management costs but not without the
involvement of an element of risk and that numerical control standardization
of machines and languages has not progressed to the degree that the
method is practical now.
