3.5 Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS). The loss or impending loss of manufacturers of items, reduction of suppliers of items, or shortages of raw material. DMSMS is caused by manufacturers of items or suppliers of raw material who discontinue production. Some of the reasons for DMSMS situations are:
Rapid changes in technology which cause obsolescence;
Uneconomical production requirements and increasing emphasis on use of commercial products;
Foreign source competition;
Federal environmental and safety regulations;
Limited availability of items and raw materials used in the manufacturing process.
DMSMS situation tend to have a pervasive effect that precludes repair of materiel and prevents procurement of additional systems, equipment, spare assemblies, and subassemblies that depend on the availability of items and raw materials that are no longer manufactured or available.
