Analysis of the Impact of Data Errors on Backorder Rates in the F404 Engine System

In the management of the U. S. Naval inventory, data quality is of critical importance. Errors in major inventory databases contribute to increased operational costs, reduced revenue, and loss of confidence in the reliability of the supply system. Maintaining error-free databases is not a realistic objective. Data-quality efforts must be prioritized to ensure that limited resources are allocated to achieve the maximum benefit. This thesis proposes a methodology to assist the Naval Inventory Control Point in the prioritization of its data-quality efforts.Naval Postgraduate School Monterey CA Dept of Operations Research is the author of 'Analysis of the Impact of Data Errors on Backorder Rates in the F404 Engine System', published 2003 under ISBN 9781423503910 and ISBN 1423503910.
