to as leading storeroom Storekeeper) is responsible for
making sure that incoming material is properly
receipted, identified, inspected, segregated between
stock and DTO, and distributed to the appropriate
supply department storerooms or presented to other
departments when the material is marked for DTO. In
addition, the leading material Storekeeper makes
certain that all receipt documentation is properly
marked and distributed to the appropriate work center
for further processing.
When the leading material Storekeeper is absent
during normal working hours, the next senior material
Storekeeper assumes the duties. In the performance of
his or her duties, the leading material Storekeeper who
has been delegated the responsibility for receiving
incoming stores exercises direction over other
Storekeepers and working parties assigned to assist in
the receipt of incoming stores.
DUTY STOREKEEPER.— The duty Storekeeper
is responsible for making sure that all material delivered
to the activity after normal working hours, on
weekends, or on holidays is receipted, identified,
inspected, and placed in the designated receiving
section or turned over to the requesting department (if
DTO). When sufficient personnel in the duty section
are available, stock material may be properly placed in
the appropriate storeroom. The duty Storekeeper also
makes sure that receipt documents are properly marked
and passed to the leading material Storekeeper on the
following workday.
Receipt Procedures
Receipt procedures for afloat activities, especially
aircraft carriers, normally are the same from ship to
ship. All ships are replenished while in port and receive
stores at sea by highline or aircraft. Receiving stores at
sea is refined to as underway replenishment (UNREP)
and vertical replenishment (VERTREP). Procedures
for replenishment and receiving stems during these
operations are covered in detail by individual
instructions issued by each ship. For additional
information concerning specific files and receiving
procedures, refer to Automated SNAP I Supply
Procedures, Volume 1, Logistics and Inventory
Management, NAVSUP P-567, and Afloat Supply
Procedures, NAVSUP P-485.
In-port Replenishment
Replenishment of stores while in port requires
advanced planning, coordination, and scheduling with
the shipping activity. This planning should ensure that
stores are received during normal working hours and
well in advance of anticipated ship movements. The
senior AK frequently becomes involved in the schedul-
ing, coordination, and planning for receipts while in
port. Arrangements should be made for working party
assistance, if needed, transportation with the material
department of the supporting supply activity, and
materials-handling equipment from the supporting
station. The various planning factors affecting in-port
replenishment (INREP) are shown in figure 3-2.
