What typically triggers a lonesome demand resulting from a pass?

A lonesome demand often arises from service maintenance issues, where a specific piece of equipment or system requires parts or support to continue functioning effectively. In the context of the USMC requisition management system, when maintenance activities reveal that certain items are needed—either because of routine upkeep or unexpected repairs—these demands become isolated or singular in nature, hence the term "lonesome."

This situation typically occurs when the maintenance process identifies unique needs that do not correspond with typical inventory levels. For example, if a vehicle breaks down and specific parts are required for repair, these parts may not be part of regular inventory replenishment cycles, leading to a lonesome demand. This demand reflects an urgent need to address maintenance concerns and ensure operational readiness.

The other scenarios do not typically lead to lonesome demands in the same way. Increased inventory needs usually signal a broader trend rather than isolated items. Customer returns generally create a need for restocking but do not spawn lonesome demands. Supply chain disruptions could lead to shortages, but they usually affect multiple items across the inventory rather than causing singular, isolated demands. Thus, the focus on service maintenance issues accurately captures the essence of why certain parts might generate lonesome demands within the requisition management
