Specifically, we found (1) discrepancies between storeroom inventory counts and data in TVA’s work management system, (2) storm restoration materials were not properly identified, and (3) storm restoration material reorder points were incorrect. Additionally, Transmission’s Web site contained out-of-date and incomplete data.
