Failure to manage shelf-life (SL) items
like batteries, gaskets, adhesives and lubes
can cause serious problems, including:
•±
Items expiring before they can be issued,
which means unnecessary reordering costs
•±
An increase in hazardous waste disposal,
also raising expenses
•±
Lowered unit readiness and risks to
personnel safety by using expired
materiels.
The
±rst
step
to
whip
inventory
into
shape is identifying which items have a
shelf life. LOGSA’s Packaging, Storage, and
Containerization Center (PSCC) can help.
They’ll run a customized list of the SL items
on your Authorized Stockage List.
For details on Type I and II differences, see
our article on Pages 50-51 in PS 710 (Jan 12):
archives/PS2012/710/710-50-51.pdf
Or visit the PS blog at:
To get a customized SL list, just email PSCC.
Put “Shelf-Life SSA Listing” in the subject line.
In the main email, give your SSA DODAAC
and Routing Identi±er Code (SARRS-1), along
with your full POC information. Send it to:
toby.pt@us.army.mil
PSCC
can
also
assist
with
any
SL
or
hazardous materials issues that pop up. Contact
PSCC at DSN 795-7685, (570) 615-7685, or at
the email address above.
