The purpose of this study was to test the validity of an Industrial Preparedness Planning Assumption which states that Government-owned production equipment will be provided to defense industries within 60 days after mobilization day. About 14,700 Army owned machine tools are being retained at various Government storage sites and are not available to defense producers during the initial mobilization production buildup period. The mobilization shipping capacities of the storage sites were evaluated. An analysis of documented operating procedures and information provided by storage site personnel revealed a significant variance in shipping rates among storage sites; some can meet the assumption's 60 day deadline while others require up to 140 days. The 60 day assumption, therefore, cannot be consistently applied during the negotiation of planning agreements with Army producers. (Author)
