AVIATION CHAPTER 4 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT The unique characteristics of today’s Navy, for the most part, determine the nature and size of its supply management. Supply management has adapted itself to the changing material requirements and advancing technologies. Supply system procedures have also adapted to respond to the changing operational requirements, This chapter will help you learn the principles and procedures for managing aviation material. You will learn the procedures for issuing an Aviation Consolidated Allowance List (AVCAL) and Shore Consolidated Allowance List (SHORCAL) to an activity. You will also learn the procedures to properly manage the AVCAL and SHORCAL. THE NAVY SUPPLY SYSTEM The term Navy supply system describes that system under the direction of the Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command, consisting of inventory managers and stock points, with primary functions to provide material to the Operating Forces of the Navy. The major responsibility of the Navy supply system is to provide material in support of the operation and maintenance of aeronautical equipment. Every effort will be made to have material located when and where it is needed. The intent is to make the relationship between the supplier and the user as simple and uncomplicated as possible within the boundaries of logistics directives published by higher authority. SUPPLY SYSTEM MANAGEMENT The Navy supply system is part of the total federal supply system. It procures, maintains, and distributes equipment, repair parts, and consumable inventories to Navy customers. ‘he basic responsibility for providing supply support to meet user needs is the function of naval inventory control points (NAVICPs). The cognizant systems command and the users determine the individual supply support measures of ashore and afloat units.They also determine the range and depth of items to be carried and position inventories at those designated activities. The Naval Inventory Control Point-Philadelphia (NAVICP-Phil) is the primary inventory manager of the aeronautical items used in the Navy. Commonly, the senior AK is involved in managing aeronautical materials in the retail level. Technical aviation material consists of material and spare parts for aircraft, power plants, avionics, electrical and meteorological equipment, safety equipment, and support equipment (SE) both common and peculiar. All of these items are composed of consumable and repairable aviation materials. The repairable items are also referred to as Aviation Depot Level Repairable (AVDLR) or Depot Level Repairable (DLR). AVDLR components represent the most significant dollar investment in the entire aeronautical item inventory. Improved management of these components is essential to the increased readiness of the operating forces and to the reduction of support costs. The NAVICP-Phil’s material mission is the program support of weapons systems, aeronautical equipment, and components under the design, engineering, and configuration control of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM). Certain items required in support of NAVAIRSYSCOM material programs may be under the management cognizance of several ICPs; however, program information is provided by NAVICP-Phil to these ICPs to enhance the supply support. MANAGEMENT OF REPAIRABLES A repairable is an item that, when unserviceable, normally can be economically restored to a serviceable condition through repair procedures. Repairable are grouped as field level repairable (FLRs) or depot level repairable (DLRs). The criteria used to categorize an item as FLR or DLR is based on the lowest level authorized to condemn the item. The FLRs are condemned and disposed of at the field level. The material control code (MCC) D is assigned to identify FLRs. The inventory levels for the FLR are computed in the same manner as for consumables. The DLRs are items that can be economically repaired at depot level (D-level) maintenance if it is 4-1
