3. The 140 MXG uses bench stock for aircraft maintenance tasks. Bench stocks are consumable items kept on-hand in a work center to increase mission support. Bench stock items are physically stored in the maintenance work area, so bench stock customers have ready access to the items as needed. Consumption of bench stock items requires no paperwork or communication with LRS/Materiel Management Activity personnel. Bench stocks also result in reduced workload for base logistics support activities since the items are periodically replenished in bulk quantities rather than being issued, picked, and delivered individually each time a customer need occurs.
