A Proposed Paradigm Change for Inventories
 Personal property over

one million items of
personal property
valued at over $1.7
billion
 Museum property
consisting of more than
160 million artworks,
artifacts, documents,
and other museum
properties and
priceless !!!
Property Inventory Control Program

Propose:
 To modify the current methodology for conducting personal
property physical inventories, processes and frequency of
inventories.
Use:
 Industry’s best practices and ASTM International Standards.
Purpose:
 To strengthen the PICP for over a 161 million personal and
museum property assets.
Goal:
 Use systematic control techniques to accurately maintain
asset accountability as required by law for government
personal property in the possession of DOI.
Expected Efficiencies
 50 percent physical inventory reduction
 Effective management of employees time to focus on specific
property types rather than the entire inventory
 Physical control over high risk assets including electronic
stewardship (reuse, remanufacturer, recycle)
 Streamlining and maintaining accurate and timely recording of
transaction historical events

Program. It is through these standards that will help to identify the
expected efficiencies.
ASTM E2132-01, Standard Practice for Physical Inventory of Durable,
Moveable Property;
ASTM E2131-09 Standard Practice for Addressing and Reporting Loss,
Damage, or Destruction of Tangible Property;
ASTM E2279-09 Standard Practice for Establishing the Guiding Principles
of Property Management
ASTM E2605-08 Standard Practice for Receiving Property.

 DOI Personal Property
- BLM - Denver National Operations Center
-- Wall-To-Wall (100%)
-- Inventory by Exception
Random Sample
-- 793 (100% Accurate)
285/1000 = (29%)
- USGS - Texas Water Science Center
-- Wall-To-Wall (100%)
-- Fleet by Exception
-- Total Fleet Assets 87
Random Sample
-- Random Sample 17 (100% Accurate)
74/87 = (85%)
 DOI Museum Property
-- Random Sample methods used for last 20 years

 Department of Energy (Title 41, Part 109 - PPM STD and Practices)
- Resulted in 87% reduction in their inventory effort.
- Changed the majority of their frequency of inventories to
every three years.
- Use statistical sample inventories led to a $6.6 million savings.
- Maintain inventory accuracy rate of 97% or better.
 Boeing, General Dynamics and ITT
- Uses industry leading practices to reduce and eliminate
traditional, costly 100% inventories.
 Leading organizations (Aerospace Industries Association) and (DOI-OSMRE)
- Have completely eliminated 100% inventories by using
inventory by exception or inventory by transaction techniques.

 Established the basis that anytime an asset is
handled during the inventory cycle, it may be
counted as inventoried using Inventory by
Exception.
 Confirmed that the frequency of inventories
should be a predicated on several considerations:
the type of property; movement of property; the
volume involved; and an estimate of usage.
 Achieved a higher inventory accuracy rate than
expected when we applied the new inventory
methods.
 Level of internal control was better than
12
expected and maximizes inventory performance
with minimum interference on operating
activities.
 Validated that ASTM Standards and
leading business practices do help to
streamline inventory processes.
 Testers were able to save time and effort
using the new inventory methods to
replace 100% physical inventories;
training will be necessary to implement.
 Creates the flexibility to choose among
13
the inventory methods that best fits
specific personal property types.
