Whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk from NSN demand-and-backorder

Situation

A depot whose parts master does not match DLA cannot treat a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x as color commentary on NSN demand-and-backorder extract. NSN research lead must close a DMSMS hit is from that extract under Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence.

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

• NSN demand-and-backorder extract reads as Fund and move materiel once a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population.
• NSN demand-and-backorder extract is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract.
• Defer a cycle is still live in NSN demand-and-backorder extract for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.
• NSN demand-and-backorder extract is missing the fact NSN research lead needs after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

Analysis required

• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in NSN demand-and-backorder extract.
• Quantify mission impact if a DMSMS hit is is deferred one cycle in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.
• Reconcile depot demand in NSN demand-and-backorder extract to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.
• 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 a DMSMS hit 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). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what NSN research lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
