An ILO is the work that is done during a supply
availability and it begins concurrently with the shipyard
overhaul. Storekeepers off-load repair parts, and they
identify, inspect, inventory, repackage, and preserve
them as needed. They will get any help they need from
other departments, and the engineering department will
probably be asked to provide one or more experienced
petty officers for this purpose. A good ILO purifies the
selection of repair parts carried in supply department
storerooms.
If the validation does not find equipment it should
find, it will delete those items from the ship’s
configuration, which means deletion from the COSAL
and other support documents. Therefore, engineering
department personnel should be sure the ILO team can
locate all equipment (or document its location) that
should remain in the ship’s configuration, and they
should certify all deleted equipment that will not be
replaced.
REPAIR PARTS PROCEDURES AND
PROCUREMENT
The supply department is expected to keep enough
repair parts and consumables to meet the demands of the
ship, and that requires cooperation from other
departments. Today’s Navy requires more
for material received and consumed,
accounting
and those
procedures are more complicated than they were a few
years ago. The following paragraphs cover the
procedures commonly used to account for repair parts.
We’ll discuss controlled equipage procedures later in
this chapter.
ISSUES FROM SUPPLY DEPARTMENT
STOREROOMS
NAVSUP form 1250 is used on all nonautomated
ships for issues from supply department storerooms
(ships not using electronic data processing equipment to
request material and record material consumption).
Automated ships use the DD form 1348 as an internal
issue document.
The head of a department must authorize persons to
draw routine issues of repair parts and consumables
from supply. The authorization may be in a memo to the
supply officer that names persons authorized to draw
material. It may also be a locally developed “credit card”
similar to the one shown in figure 5-8 and controlled by
the head of a department. It is best to limit the number
of persons authorized to draw material to keep better
control of the department budget.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Most material carried on board is repair parts
authorized by the COSAL or consumables stocked on
the basis of past usage. Any others are special
requirements and they include greater numbers of
current items, or items not carried. Submit special
requirements to the supply officer well ahead of the time
you will need them.
