Whether an alternate source is technically qualified from NSN

Situation

NSN research lead owns an alternate source is inside a depot whose parts master does not match DLA with NSN demand-and-backorder extract as the only packet. A repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is what changed the clock for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in NSN demand-and-backorder extract is the one a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
• The population in NSN demand-and-backorder extract is adjacent only to a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call.
• A depot whose parts master does not match DLA already contained a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x before NSN demand-and-backorder extract arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path.
• Provenance on NSN demand-and-backorder extract 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

• Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in NSN demand-and-backorder extract.
• Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read NSN demand-and-backorder extract against a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x 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 repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option NSN demand-and-backorder extract can support after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.
