Of the 18 purchases tested, 15 purchases were made for items that were already in inventory. To reduce inventory costs, thereby increasing the efficiency at which inventory is used, procuring inventory should be made when the item is not available in the warehouse. Recommendations Establish a sustainable and repeatable process which incorporates strong internal controls so that inventory is identified and dispositioned within Policy timelines. Marine Maintenance has received and reviewed the findings of the internal audit and concurs with the recommendations. We will use an inventory report that identifies turnover ratios and will create an internal policy for dispositioning aged inventory by December 31, 2016. The policy will outline the process and procedure for reviewing aged and stagnant inventory. This will include a collaborative review by the Materials and Inventory Specialist, Purchasing and Inventory Supervisor and Crew Chiefs. The results of the review will be submitted to the Senior Logistics and Finance Manager for final approval. The Material acquisition process will be revised by requesting a review by the Material and Inventory Specialists for available stock, non-stock and zero value inventories prior to the submission of the Maximo Purchase Requisitions. Marine Maintenance will continue to procure materials in the most cost efficient manner. This may include ordering materials that are currently in our inventory due to insufficient quantity on hand or direct delivery to job site.

We welcome a collaborative approach with AV Maintenance to share expertise and knowledge to improve our purchasing and disposition procedures.
