The Honorable Vic Fazio
House of Representatives

The Department of Defense (DOD) is evaluating depot
maintenance operations to determine how best to lower the
overall cost of these functions while retaining essential
operating capability. As you requested, we developed
information on work load, productivity, quality, capacity
and financial indicators at the Air Force's five Air
Logistics Centers (ALC).

BACKGROUND

Depot maintenance is the repair of materiel requiring a
major overhaul or the complete rebuilding of parts,
assemblies, and end items. It includes manufacturing,
modification, modernization, repair, testing and
reclamation. The maintenance depots provide stocks of
serviceable equipment by using a combination of special
skills, equipment, and repair facilities that are not
available at lower levels.

The Air Force has five major depot repair centers, each of
which is an integral part of one of the five Air Logistics
Centers. These include Ogden ALC, Hill Air Force Base,
Utah; Oklahoma City ALC, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma;
Sacramento ALC, McClellan Air Force Base, California; San
Antonio ALC, Kelly Air Force Base, Texas; and Warner Robins
ALC, Robins Ail Force Base, Georgia.I The ALC depots
repair aircraft, missiles, engines, and communications-
electronics equipment. The work varies in technical
complexity, scope of work packages, and the types and skills
of work required. Table 1 provides a brief overview of the
five Air Logistics Centers and the type of repair work they

'The Air Force has two other depot maintenance activities,
the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center, Newark Air
Force Base, Ohio and the Aerospace Maintenance and
'Regeneration Center, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
