Manage building materials from the bottom up, NOT the top down.
2. Be able to predict your future based on reliability of parts. In this exclusive podcast, Osburn elaborates on these ideas and discusses how to implement obsolescence strategies going forward – amid a near-guaranteed slew of budget cuts to the DoD.
