How often must custodians conduct physical inventories of the IMRL?

Custodians must conduct physical inventories of the Intermediate Maintenance Repair List (IMRL) annually. This requirement is set to ensure that all items listed in the IMRL are accounted for, promoting accuracy in inventory management and compliance with maintenance protocols. An annual inventory helps maintain the integrity of the maintenance supply system and ensures that equipment can be effectively maintained and operational readiness is preserved.

Conducting inventories on a more frequent basis, such as quarterly or monthly, while helpful in certain contexts, is not mandated for IMRL specifically. This annual schedule allows custodians enough time to manage and verify items efficiently without overwhelming the inventory processes.
