    Study Notes

    Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL)

    • COSAL is a critical document for ship mission and sustainability
    • It establishes allowances for ship equipage and repair parts for all onboard electronic, ordnance, electrical, and mechanical equipment
    • Supports material identification and inventory management
    • COSAL validation and updates are driven by maintenance personnel's feedback reports (FBRs) and checks (CKs) on Allowance Parts Lists (APLs)
    • Changes to stock numbers (adds, deletions, replacements) are identified and communicated through processes like Automated Shore Interface/Revised Alternative Data flow (ASI/RAD)
    • Monthly reports from the 3M/QA division are sent to NAVICP for changes to COSAL

    COSAL Processes

    • Validation: Ensures accuracy of APLs
    • Updating: Addresses changes in stock numbers, identified through maintenance and CASREP reporting
    • ASI/RAD: Facilitates data exchange with shore entities for updated stock allowances

    Demand Processing Impact

    • Frequent ordering of repair parts influences demand processing through Naval Inventory Control Points (NAVICP)
    • NAVICP assesses ordering patterns to determine if a part should be carried onboard due to frequent demand
    • Higher order frequency increases the likelihood of carrying that specific repair part onboard

    Material Obligation Validation (MOV)

    • Internal and external MOVs are mechanisms to address outstanding overaged requisitions
    • Internal MOVs are produced monthly, while external ones are produced quarterly
    • Inventory Control Points (ICPs) generate the external reports
    • Supply personnel investigate requisitions for validity, receipt status, and cancellation options

    Depot Level Repairable (DLRs)

    • DLRs are Navy-managed items with specific inventory control due to cost, demand, repair complexity, and economic factors
    • Identified by National Stock Number (NSN), cognizant symbol, and material control codes (H, E, X, G, O)
    • "One-for-one" turn-in system is for DLR items

    Not Ready for Issue (NRFI) DLRs

    • Turn-in: Requisition only to fill fixed allowance; one-for-one exchange
    • Remain in Place (RIP): Authorized for non-critical or non-immediately-shippable items with advice codes

    Maintenance Assist Modules (MAMs) & Bulkhead Ready Spares

    • MAMs are replaceable assemblies used in approved maintenance plans
    • Stock records are maintained for authorized MAMs
    • Bulkhead ready spares are used for large/awkward items that cannot be stored in the usual storeroom

    Battle Group Asset Management System (BAMS)

    • BAMS facilitates in-theater expediting of inventory and assets to address maintenance requirements
    • Frequent "FITS" reports are sent by ships to central command to facilitate faster transfer and availability of assets

    Operating Target (OPTAR)

    • Equipment Maintenance Related Material (EMRM): Funding for parts with JSNs and APLs
    • Other: Funding for non-APL items (consumables, office supplies)

    Ship OPTAR Effects

    • Departmental Budget: Department heads are responsible for managing their budget allocation properly
    • Consolidated Residual Asset Management System Inventory (CRAMSI): Primarily for smaller ships, allowing for issuing free-issue materials for reorder requests
    • Hazardous Material Reutilization: DRMO manages hazardous materials for potential free issue to different commands
    • Defense Reutilization Marketing Office (DRMO): Manages the free issuing or acceptance of reusable items

    Endurance Loading of Subsistence

    • Sufficient stocks of food are obtained for a predefined period and to provide a well-balanced diet between restocking periods
    • Fleet operations plan and ship operating schedule are key considerations

    Basic Daily Food Allowance (BDFA)

    • Daily monetary allowance for crew meals, currently $5.95
    • Price is regularly published and appears in NAVSUP7330

    Quarterly Foodservice Report

    • NAVSUP 1358 (General Mess Operating Statement) is the official quarterly food service report
    • It summarizes monthly sales reports (NAVSUP 1357) and contains crucial information on receipts, rations fed, sales, transactions, and cash deposits
    • Submitted to NAVSUP 51

    Battle Stations Rations

    • Meals Ready to Eat (MRE) rations are used when galley services are unavailable during battle stations
