Which type of items are included in the Consumable component of OPTAR?

The Consumable component of the OPTAR (Operating Target) is focused on non-maintenance related parts and items. This category primarily encompasses goods that are used up in activities but do not directly relate to the maintenance of equipment or systems. These items can include supplies that are necessary for day-to-day operations, administration, and other support activities that do not involve the upkeep of equipment.

By identifying non-maintenance related parts/items as part of the Consumable component, the OPTAR framework ensures that there is a clear distinction between resources allocated for routine operational support and those designated for maintenance and repair tasks. This delineation is important for budget management and resource allocation within maritime operations.
