For how many days can an unserviceable piece of equipment be held in the MEMO holding account?

An unserviceable piece of equipment can be held in the MEMO holding account for 30 days. This time frame is significant because it allows the logistics personnel to assess the equipment's condition and determine whether it can be repaired or if it needs to be disposed of or replaced. Holding it for 30 days strikes a balance between timely decision-making and allowing enough time for proper evaluation and processing of the equipment.

This specific duration is established in order to manage inventory effectively while minimizing disruptions caused by unserviceable items. Exceeding this period without action may lead to inefficiencies in resource management, which is why a 30-day limit is enforced before further steps must be taken regarding the equipment's status.
