Support Logistic Analysis
Support Logistic Analysis
LSA blends logistic engineering, system engineering, and system design to develop the optimal support outcome.
A successful LSA will define those support requirements that are ideal for the system design, as well as for the design of the support system.
Increase Your Efficiency, Reduce Your Costs
By identifying what support requirements are mutually beneficial, LSA can increase efficiency, increase the compatibility of system engineering to the support system, reduce the cost of providing support, and thoroughly examine the elements of support to provide insight into additional areas of improvement.
LSA has a broad scope that considers many aspects of maintaining your equipment or product. There is no boilerplate method to performing LSA; which steps are taken and what is analyzed often depends on the outcome desired. Many people in the fields of provisioning, technical writing and cataloging perform some LSA on a regular basis without even realizing it.
The following list represents the elements most commonly examined while performing LSA:
- Ability to Be Produced
- Mobility & Transportability
- Comparative Analysis
- Product Improvement and Technology Insertion
- Design of System
- Use of System
- Disposal of System
- Reliability
- Early Fielding Data
- Environmental and Safety Aspects
- Human Engineering
- FMEA/FMECA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis / Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis)
- Support Equipment
- Support Equipment Supply
- Information Technology Resources
- Sustainability
- Life Cycle Cost
- Test Requirements
- LORA
- Maintainability
- Training
- Maintenance Engineering
- Maintenance Planning
- Value Engineering
The Logistics Database
In the past, logistics support has relied on the MIL-STD-1388 format. This format populates a series of Data Element Definitions (DED), which are then interrelated by means of a complex database. The database structure uses a variety of tables for both data entry and data delivery. It also provides a means of generating custom reports that gives interrelated data from a variety of tables.
This type of logistics database contains:
- Information regarding the end product or system, including its operational structure (how many and where located)
- FMEA/FMECA information
- Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) information
- General and detailed task information (including maintainability predictions and skills)
- A list of required tools used in repair and servicing tasks
- Provisioning (spare parts) information
- This database is used to determine spare part requirements, tool requirements, personnel and skill requirements, to name a few.
A successful LSA will define those support requirements that are ideal for the system design, as well as for the design of the support system.
