ATC 8 Not Carried materiel is established for what purpose?

• A. Demand history recording
• B. Excess EMV valuation
• C. Depot Level Repairables (DLR)
• D. Spot inventory control

Answer: (A)

Not Carried materiel is used to capture demand history for items that are not normally stocked. By recording every request or usage of these items, the system builds a history that helps determine whether the item should be added to the stocked inventory, assigned a replacement policy, or kept outside the standard stock list. This data-driven approach prevents stocking items with little or no demand while ensuring that items with recurring need aren’t overlooked. It’s not about valuing excess material, it isn’t for Depot Level Repairables, and it isn’t used for general spot inventory control, which apply to items that are already stocked and managed through routine stock-and-demand processes.
