DLA manages about one-fifth of DOD's $95 billion in secondary item inventory, such as spare parts to keep military equipment ready and operating. GAO has identified DOD supply-chain management as a high-risk area due in part to ineffective and inefficient inventory-management practices and weaknesses in forecasting the demand for spare parts. These factors have contributed to the creation of on-order and on-hand excess inventory. GAO was asked to review DLA's inventory-management practices. GAO reviewed, among other things, the extent to which DLA has (1) developed and met goals to reduce on-hand inventory and on-order excess inventory while reducing backorders, and any challenges faced in doing so, and (2) implemented initiatives using a comprehensive management approach to improve inventory management. GAO analyzed inventory data from 2009 through 2013, evaluated DLA's inventory processes, and interviewed DLA and DOD officials.

GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) management of its inventories that support its operating forces. GAO found that: (1) DOD has achieved some inventory reductions, but it has made little overall progress in correcting long-standing inventory management problems that perpetuate overbuying, excessive supply storage, and waste; (2) inventory funding and levels have remained high despite the downsizing of military forces; (3) DOD has failed to give its personnel the the tools and incentives to properly manage inventory; (4) the two main DOD initiatives have not yet delivered the full benefits that they were expected to, and need much more management attention; (5) DOD still lacks adequate inventory oversight and financial accountability; and (6) although DOD has had some success using commercial inventory practices, it needs to be more aggressive in changing its inventory management culture in order to ensure high levels of readiness within existing resource constraints and to take advantage of new management practices, technologies, and logistics systems.
