In the aerospace and defense industries, an end item is considered a final combination of end products, components, parts, and or materials that are ready for their intended use. This includes ships, tanks, mobile machine shops, aircrafts, and other critical Department of Defense vehicles and machines. Sometimes called major end items, end items make up a low percentage of the total line items in the armed forces inventory despite making up a high percentage of its spending. Because of this high cost and their high importance to critical combat operations, end items are controlled through chains of command.
