Defense Sustainment will live with To repair organically, buy, versus Qualify an alternate on this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
DECISION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources must choose To repair organically, buy, / Qualify an alternate using vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after lead times that doubled after a data-migration.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Lead times that doubled after a data-migration is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, given vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes. 2. Lead times that doubled after a data-migration is the event in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes that forces To repair organically, buy, for repair-vs-buy decision support lead under Defense Sustainment. 3.
