  Description
  Warehouse needs SKO listing and inventory/inspection improvement to be IAW AFI 24-302 requirements and AF Vehicle Management (VM) common tool accountability and management practice. The SKO catalog list and inspection list must be the same.
  ALSO
  An addition to SCR 1334. Along with using toolboxes/Individual Tool Kit (ITK)/Composite Tool kit (CTK), the Vehicle Management (VM) community also uses containers/Mobility Spares Readiness Package(MRSP) and pallets for mobility purposes. Having multiple SKO catalog options would be ideal for VM facilities and other DoD DPAS users.

  Recommended
  Modify SKO catalog.  Units should have the ability to build toolbox or kits (SKO) with display order and drawer location.  See Attachment 3 (DW Form 01A) for recommended document appearance.
  ALSO
  We recommend removing current SKO option and adding the capabilities to select different types of SKO catalogs: ITK/CTK, MSRP and Pallet. Upon selecting add in the SKO Catalog screen, the system should ask which type of catalog the user is trying to create. All three options (ITK/CTK, MSRP and Pallet) will have the option to group items by compartments/drawers and still have the option for display order.

  Mission Critical
  It is mission critical and is mandated.
  ALSO
  IAW 24-302 5.37.6. Maintenance team leads or their designees perform and document accountability procedures for ITK/CTKs or tool cribs in accordance with local Vehicle Management Operation Procedures (VMOPs), or on a daily basis, to ensure accountability of assigned tools and to prevent Foreign Object Damage (FOD). (T-1). Written inventories are accomplished annually by Materiel Control, jointly with the technician.
  5.37.15 Powered hand tools may be issued to CTKs, tool cribs or ITKs. Ensure they are accurately accounted for due to their high replacement cost.
  5.39. Materiel Control sub-receipts ITKs to the technicians using itemized inventory listings.

  Benefits
  VM operations have SKOs with over 500 tools.  Having SKOs with display order and drawer location enables members/personnel to easily locate and inspect tools. 
  ALSO
  The option to have multiple SKO programs to catalog parts and tools for ITK/CTKs, MSRPs and Pallets will allow better accountability management and make the inventory process more efficient.

  Users
  This option would benefit all Warehouse users. See attached document for visual explanation
  ALSO
  Not only will the Air Force component benefit from this SCR but all DoD and Federal services using DPAS and the SKO function. The capability will allow better tool, parts, equipment management/accountability and increase inventory efficiency.
