Utilization of Navy Long Supply Aviation Assets

Improved Coordination and Supervision Needed Gao ID: PLRD-82-121 September 17, 1982

GAO completed a followup review of the Navy's program for using long supply aviation assets in producing aircraft airframes, engines, and targets. In a prior report, GAO identified weaknesses in the operation of this program and recommended specific actions for its improvement.

GAO found that the Navy's program for utilizing long supply aviation assets in new production continues to fall short of realizing its optimum effectiveness. Coordination is inadequate between the Naval Air Systems Command and the Aviation Supply Office during the screening process and the verification of available items selected by the contractors. In addition, available assets have been offered to the contractors too late for use in the applicable production year or they have not been offered at all.
