Situation
In an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, alternate-source qualification packet is the evidence after lead times that doubled after a data-migration. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead has to pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence close using alternate-source qualification packet.
Decision
Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using alternate-source qualification packet after lead times that doubled after a data-migration.
Hypotheses to test
- Alternate-source qualification packet reads as Fund and move materiel once lead times that doubled after a data-migration is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population.
- Alternate-source qualification packet is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after lead times that doubled after a data-migration; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract.
- Defer a cycle is still live in alternate-source qualification packet for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
- Alternate-source qualification packet is missing the fact repair-vs-buy decision support lead needs after lead times that doubled after a data-migration; stop this Defense Sustainment close.
Analysis required
- Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in alternate-source qualification packet.
- Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
- Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after lead times that doubled after a data-migration.
- For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read alternate-source qualification packet against lead times that doubled after a data-migration and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.
Recommendation
Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (alternate-source qualification packet after lead times that doubled after a data-migration). If alternate-source qualification packet cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent pages an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources does not have.
