Whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk from DMSMS alert vs. current

Situation

After a new source that has never made this form-fit-function, DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead can touch in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. Defense Sustainment will live with Fund and move materiel versus Cannibalize or substitute on this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

Decision

Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is the one a new source that has never made this form-fit-function named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
• The population in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is adjacent only to a new source that has never made this form-fit-function; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call.
• An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained a new source that has never made this form-fit-function before DMSMS alert vs. current stock position arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path.
• Provenance on DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

Analysis required

• Reconcile depot demand in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.
• Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move DMSMS alert vs. current stock position.
• Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read DMSMS alert vs. current stock position against a new source that has never made this form-fit-function and write the one fact that would move a DMSMS hit is for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

Recommendation

Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
