Discrepancy (ROD), SF 364, by the receiving activity.
The purpose of the ROD is to determine the cause of
the discrepancy, effect corrective action, and prevent
recurrence. When both item discrepancies and
packaging discrepancies are noted on the same
shipment, both blocks on the top of SF 364 should be
checked and the types of discrepancies noted. The
types of discrepancies required to be reported are
described in chapter 4 of NAVSUP P-485. Detailed
instructions for preparing and distributing of RODs are
contained in the current version of SECNAVINST
4355.18.
Custody
The term custody refers to the responsibility for
proper care, stowage, and use of Navy material and
records pertaining to such. Stored material is required
to be kept under lock and key, except when the material
is too numerous or too large to make such stowage
impractical. Lock storeroom spaces securely when not
in use.
Stowage
Material in storerooms and other designated
stowage areas should be arranged to
ensure maximum use of available space,
provide orderly stowage and ready accessibility,
prevent damage to spaces or injury to personnel,
reduce the possibility of material loss or damage,
make it easy to issue the oldest stock first, and
make it easy to inventory.
The preceding criteria and a “common-sense”
approach will enable storeroom personnel to achieve
stowage efficiency. To the maximum extent that
available space permits, you should adhere to the
following guidelines when stowing material:
Locate heavy bulk material and materials
handling equipment near hatches or doors to
minimize the physical effort required for
loading, stowage, and breakout.
