Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (f87544)

SITUATION An ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN cannot treat a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock as incidental context on repair-history file that will not tie to cost. Depot procurement-intelligence analyst must close cost history can support from that extract under Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence.

DECISION Depot procurement-intelligence analyst in an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN, given repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 2. A OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock is the event in repair-history file that will not tie to cost that forces Fund and move materiel for depot procurement-intelligence analyst under Defense Sustainment. 3. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost shows a one-file miss after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost cannot decide cost history can support yet after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for depot procurement-intelligence analyst.
