Initial provisioning involves the selection, procurement and delivery of spare parts for the support of new systems and equipment. NAMSA uses a number of mathematical models and computer programmes to assist in determining initial provisioning quantities.

NAMSA can offer the following services to customers:

• assisting in the establishment of logistics requirements for new equipment;
• obtaining relevant reliability and maintainability data when preliminary design is established;
• determining whether items are critical or non-critical in the light of budget limitations;
• finalizing logistics support concepts at critical design review by running selection models and establishing final spares requirements in terms of quantities and locations;
• reviewing materiel movements to confirm that logistics support requirements will be met.

Follow-on Support

Follow-on support satisfies customer materiel requirements. It includes:

• filling customer materiel requisitions from NAMSA stock holdings or making alternative arrangements;
• replenishing stocks in accordance with authorized levels (procurement);
• establishing Authorized Stockage Lists;
• establishing Site Allowance Lists;
• maintaining stock level details in stock management databases.
