SITUATION In a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source, contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is the evidence after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. Hill AF logistics data reviewer has to pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence close using contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern.
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 contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern already has the discriminator after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is completed after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function for Hill AF logistics data reviewer. 3. Treat contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. 4.
