Which document determines the contents of your shop bench stock?

• A. TO 00-5-1
• B. AFTO Form 350
• C. ALIS program
• D. DAFMAN 23-122, Material Management Procedures

Answer: (D)

The contents of shop bench stock are set by formal material management procedures that define what items may be kept in the shop, how many, how they’re authorized, and how replenishment is handled. The document that governs this at the Air Force level is DAFMAN 23-122, Material Management Procedures. It provides the policy and process for selecting and maintaining bench stock so maintenance can work efficiently without unnecessary shortages or clutter. The other documents don’t establish what goes on the bench. TO 00-5-1 is a technical order related to specific procedures, AFTO Form 350 is a maintenance form used for recording actions, and the ALIS program is the logistics information system used to manage data and workflows, not to define bench stock contents.
