Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (7b5989)

SITUATION In an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, lead times that doubled after a data-migration put depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers in play. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should decide whether an alternate source is technically qualified without filling gaps depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers does not contain.

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 depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after lead times that doubled after a data-migration.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead can defend Fund and move materiel from depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after lead times that doubled after a data-migration in a Defense Sustainment challenge. 2. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead cannot defend Fund and move materiel from depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers; Cannibalize or substitute is what the extract actually supports after lead times that doubled after a data-migration. 3. Lead times that doubled after a data-migration never reached the population in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers — reopen intake, do not close an alternate source is. 4. Two facts in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after lead times that doubled after a data-migration conflict for repair-vs-buy decision support lead; hold this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers. 3. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers against lead times that doubled after a data-migration and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is 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 (depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after lead times that doubled after a data-migration). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers can support after lead times that doubled after a data-migration, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
