Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (5b0966)

SITUATION Hill AF logistics data reviewer is responsible for cost history can support in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source, using lead-time outlier report as the only working extract. A new source that has never made this form-fit-function is what reset the timeline for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; lead-time outlier report already has the discriminator after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until lead-time outlier report is completed after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function for Hill AF logistics data reviewer. 3. Treat lead-time outlier report as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: Hill AF logistics data reviewer does not have the decision cost history can support turns on in lead-time outlier report.

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 lead-time outlier report. 3. Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read lead-time outlier report against a new source that has never made this form-fit-function 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 a new source that has never made this form-fit-function). If lead-time outlier report cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source does not have.

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 - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in lead-time outlier report that a second reviewer can re-perform
