Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (e4eb0b)

SITUATION A program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source cannot treat a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x as incidental context on repair-history file that will not tie to cost. Hill AF logistics data reviewer must close an alternate source is from that extract under Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence.

DECISION Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is the one a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is adjacent only to a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. A program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source already contained a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x before repair-history file that will not tie to cost arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 2. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 3. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for Hill AF logistics data reviewer.

RECOMMENDATION Do not close an alternate source is from a generic Defense Sustainment playbook. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x either supports Fund and move materiel for Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source, supports Cannibalize or substitute, or is incomplete — in which case Hill AF logistics data reviewer must do not move materiel or funding on a count the depot file cannot reconstruct.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on an alternate source is, then the evidence in repair-history file that will not tie to cost, then the action for Hill AF logistics data reviewer - Hypothesis scorecard against repair-history file that will not tie to cost: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source - What changes an alternate source is if a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is later withdrawn
