<p>In  an  overall  effort  to  reduce  total  operating  costs  within  the  Department  of  Defense,  several  Defense  Management  Review  Decisions  were  issued  which  significantly  affected  the  Navy's  inventory  levels  for  spare  parts.  This  thesis  examines  the  effect  of  these  changes  on  requisition  processing  at  the  wholesale  level.  The  primary  objective  is  to  determine  if  requirements  are  being  satisfied  from  wholesale  stock  on  hand  at  the  Point  of  Entry  (POE)  of  the  requisition,  or  if  unnecessary  additional  costs  and  delivery  delays  are  incurred  as  a  result  of  incorrect  processing  of  the  requisitions.  In-depth  analysis  is  conducted  on  requisitions  submitted  by  West  coast  fleet  units  for  DLA  managed  material  for  which  wholesale  stock  was  available  at  the  POE.  Research  revealed  that  requisitions  were  not  always  satisfied  locally  and  that  adherence  to  current  policy  was  inconsistent,  causing  delays  and  additional  costs.  A  supplemental  finding  revealed  a  need  for  wholesale  stock  positioning  policy  changes  where  material  would  be  actively  positioned  at  selected  stock  points  to  support  regional  demand.
