• Support business management functions in order to determine the build, type and configuration of DSP/ASP kits needed for unit deployments.
• Analyze requirements passed by deploying units to ensure the appropriate mix and configuration of parts are included based on the configurations of aircraft deploying.
• Monitor the progress of PSPs to configure and deliver the DSP/ASP kit.
• Determine any shortages within the DSP/ASP to ensure PSPs backfill the kits with the needed items of supply.
• Query and extract data from systems used by the organization, warfighter, item managers, equipment specialists, and depot maintenance providers to develop strategies for improving product support.
