Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of the Air Force | The Secretary of the Air Force should direct the Commander of the Air Force Logistics Command to implement improved procedures and controls to ensure that appropriate administrative leadtimes are maintained in the automated System Support Stock Fund at all air logistics centers. Such procedures and controls should: (1) periodically compare Air Force standard administrative leadtimes with stock fund system leadtime so that item managers can evaluate the propriety of the leadtimes; and (2) adopt forecasting techniques which realistically reflect the leadtime required, considering both the Air Force standard and the actual leadtime experienced for the latest routine procurement. This applies to all stock fund procurements, including those under basic ordering agreements and requirements contracts. |
When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
