Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (096a05)

SITUATION Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source has one working extract — lead-time outlier report — after document numbers that collide across two systems of record. If lead-time outlier report cannot support cost history can support, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.

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 lead-time outlier report after document numbers that collide across two systems of record.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Document numbers that collide across two systems of record is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source, given lead-time outlier report. 2. Document numbers that collide across two systems of record is the event in lead-time outlier report that forces Fund and move materiel for Hill AF logistics data reviewer under Defense Sustainment. 3. Lead-time outlier report shows a one-file miss after document numbers that collide across two systems of record, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Lead-time outlier report cannot decide cost history can support yet after document numbers that collide across two systems of record; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move lead-time outlier report. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in lead-time outlier report. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read lead-time outlier report against document numbers that collide across two systems of record and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for Hill AF logistics data reviewer.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (lead-time outlier report after document numbers that collide across two systems of record). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option lead-time outlier report can support after document numbers that collide across two systems of record, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on cost history can support, then the evidence in lead-time outlier report, then the action for Hill AF logistics data reviewer - Hypothesis scorecard against lead-time outlier report: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source - What changes cost history can support if document numbers that collide across two systems of record is later withdrawn
