Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (06b36e)

SITUATION In a depot whose parts master does not match DLA, NSN demand-and-backorder extract is the evidence after a condemnation cluster after a process change. NSN research lead has to pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence close using NSN demand-and-backorder extract.

DECISION NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a condemnation cluster after a process change.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. NSN demand-and-backorder extract reads as Fund and move materiel once a condemnation cluster after a process change is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. NSN demand-and-backorder extract is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after a condemnation cluster after a process change; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract. 3. Defer a cycle is still live in NSN demand-and-backorder extract for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA. 4. NSN demand-and-backorder extract is missing the fact NSN research lead needs after a condemnation cluster after a process change; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

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 NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 3. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read NSN demand-and-backorder extract against a condemnation cluster after a process change and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for NSN research lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a condemnation cluster after a process change). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what NSN research lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on an alternate source is, then the evidence in NSN demand-and-backorder extract, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against NSN demand-and-backorder extract: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA - What changes an alternate source is if a condemnation cluster after a process change is later withdrawn
