Materiel control

The EPCM eontraetor normally possesses a corporate materiel control procedure, which can be adapted to each specific project. Items are listed at the requisition stage with an alphanumeric identification, and then followed through... 

Once materiel has been issued to a construction contractor, the latter takes over responsibility for it up to the time of completion and turnover of the works. The construction contractor is equally responsible for materiel it has procured directly. This implies the creation and operation by the construction contractor of a materiel control system incorporating those features present in that of the EPCM contractor. 

Site materiel control procedures habitually incorporate incoming administrative inspection based on the well-known concept of an over, short and damaged (OSSUD) report, which...

The SNS Program ensures that the medical materiel stock is rotated and kept within potency shelf-life limits. This involves quarterly quality assurance/quality control checks on all 12-hour Push Packages, annual 100% inventory of all 12-hour Push Package items, and inspections of environmental conditions, security, and overall package maintenance. 

In response to the FY Defense Authorization Act [Public Law (PL) 102 84, Sect. 176], review and evalnation of data were conducted to derive RfDs for non-stockpile chemical materiel (NSCM) in an effort to develop control limits for NSCM in soil and water. Lewisite (CAS No. 541-25-3) was identified as a priority chemical at non-stockpile materiel sites. 

Research and development sponsorship has produced and accumulated, particularly within the Military Departments, a vast amount of new technology. This technology has served the defense establishment well in its mission to develop and acquire the weapons systems and materiel necessary for the defense of the nation. Large defense and aerospace contractors have transferred aircraft, air control and safety, computer and similar technology from the military sector to the civilian sector. 

Identification. This section is for the IDENTIFICATION of radioactive sources only. The hazards of the given isotopes are covered later in the chapter. Further information on specific items of interest may be found in TB 43-0116, Identification of Radioactive Items in the Army, as well as AST-1500Z-100-93, Identification Guide for Radioactive Sources in Foreign Materiel. TB 43-0116 includes item NSNs, end-item NSNs, specific isotope and activity present, and the inventory control point (in most cases, this number indicates the license holder for that commodity). The foreign material document contains physical data on the description, location, and radioactive sources in the items. 

Warfare Materiel, often referred to as the International Technologies report (NRC, 2006). Since the publication of that report in 2006, these technologies—the controlled detonation chamber (CDC), the DAVINCH, the D masafe static kiln, and the Army s EDS—have been used to destroy a variety of chemical munitions.

The CWC requires disposal of the first two groups of miscellaneous materiel (Blackwood, 1998). The ton containers are not controlled by the CWC because they are used to store commercial chemicals as well as chemical warfare agents. While the Army currently lists no items in the RDT E group, it may reclassify some chemical sample materiel as RDT E for future chemical defense research allowed by the CWC (Blackwood, 1998).

In countries where the state controls both research and production of military materiel, industries see only minimal impact from increases or decreases due to changing priorities in R D or fabrication of armaments and equipment. Such is not the case in countries where there are close ties between the government and private sector. The situation in the United States presents a good example of how decisions regarding military R D and procurement affect industry.
