Case Development Controls
Three pieces on the controls applied while a case is being written: the pre-case review (PCR) held before the document is submitted, the CPOHOLD milestone that takes stopped time out of the performance measurement, and the coordination and countersignature sequence through MILSGN, the Case Tracking System (CTS) and the state department.
Three pieces in this topic
The review before the document is written
A pre-case review (PCR) on a large or sensitive case, with the contractor in the room only briefly and the papers off the screen.
02Putting a case on hold
An ordinary hold keeps counting against the clock; only an approved CPOHOLD takes the time out of the measurement.
03How a case gets countersigned
Three approvals through MILSGN, the Case Tracking System (CTS) and the state department before countersignature, with a 24 hour upload rule.
