This work formerly was done en tirely by the Air Force The Air Force is benefitting through lessening of its workload; industry gains through early as signment of stock numbers and their timely transmittal back to the contractors. This should remove any cause for extended delay in delivery due to lack of stock numbers. Supply cataloging is an important project in the effort to maintain constant air readiness, and continued teamwork by the Air Force and industry is expected to contribute toward improved effectiveness of the supply catalogs. General E. W. Rawlings, Commander of Air Materiel Command, has stated on a number of occasions, "Cataloging is the very foundation of the Air Force supply on many new Air Force supply system." Availability of reliable supply catalog information is a "must." Catalog information required for each and every one of the more than a million and a quarter different items in the air Force supply system includes a wide range of, data grouped generally as follows: - " (1) A precise description - which tells the Air Force users and managers what kind of item they can order and furnish. (2) A stock number by which the item can be requisitioned, accounted for and stocked. (3) Stock control data which is the basis for efficient supply man- agement. . As part of the tremendous task of providing: all this information for so many items accurately and descrintion writ ing is a man-siz- e job in itself. Several thousand new items enter the Air Force supply system each week, as new weapons and eauin- ment are purchased. The work of cataloe-mwas he- coming bigger for the Air Force every day. Something had to be done about it. So the Air Force enlisted the aid of industry in getitem ting contractors to descriptions for newly procured items. The Aircraft Industries A sanita tion and the National Sernritv In dustrial Association, together with otner associations and individual manufacturers, gave excellent cooperation in enlisting the aid of contractors. Simultaneously, the Cataloging and Standards zat.i the Directorate of Supply at Headquarters, Air Materiel Command, developed a Military Specification, (USAF), "Descriptive Identification Data to be Furnished by Government Suppliers." When formally included in Air Force materiel production contracts, this specification requires the contractor to prepare and furnish a description for each procured item which is not already Exhibit for Packaging Conference The above exhibit will accompany Hill AFB representatives they attend the annual Packaging Conference scheduled to be hfl! at Brookley AFB, Mobile, Alabama, next month.
