Shipboard Parts Allowance Policy
Published Date: January 1, 1982
This paper deals with the stocking on board ship of the parts needed to repair ships' equipment--especially on cruisers, frigates, and attack submarines. It discusses the purpose and cost of the Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL). It describes and evaluates the procedure being used to construct COSALs--the Fleet Logistics Support Improvement Program (FLSIP). It briefly assesses other procedures--particularly the Maintenance Criticality Oriented (MCO) COSAL. Lastly, the report recommends two changes in FLSIP and discusses their effects on readiness and on investment cost.
