1. A supply chain management system that authorizes an autonomic requisition cycle, the supply chain management system comprising:

  • a predictive diagnostic condition management system carried by a vehicle to transmit a failure code using a radio frequency (RF) transmitter;

    an off-board predictive diagnostic condition management system spaced-apart from said predictive diagnostic condition management system that receives the at least one failure code using a radio frequency receiver, and generates at least one off-board predictive diagnostic condition management failure code responsive to the received at least one failure code; and

    a software based distributed secure information system in data communication with said off-board predictive diagnostic condition management system via a data bus to receive the at least one off-board predictive diagnostic condition management failure code, said distributed secure information system comprising a plurality of software modules in communication with one another via data busses to authorize delivery of at least one vehicle asset to a location of the vehicle from an issuing location, to authorize delivery of the vehicle asset from the location of the vehicle to a repair source, and to replenish the at least one vehicle asset to the issuing location;

    wherein the at least one failure code is transmitted from said predictive diagnostic condition management system of the vehicle to said off board predictive diagnostic condition management system using an RF signal, and wherein the at least one failure code is carried by the data bus between said off-board predictive diagnostic condition management system and said distributed secure information system and between the software modules of said distributed secure information system.
