Life Cycle Logistics Flashcards
What do Life Cycle Costs encompass?
Research, Development, Investment, Operating & Support, and Disposal
Where does Life Cycle Sustainment Process begin?
Early in the JCIDS process with the exploration of capabilities defined in terms of overall performance and linking sustainment to performance
Which phase provides the widest latitude for considering requirement alternatives and has the greatest impact on the Life Cycle Cost (LCC)?
Materia Solutions Analysis (MSA)
Which phase provides the primary life cycle sustainment objective to develop the requirements for the long-term performance-based support concept and the initial Product Support Package (PSP_
Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD)
Which phase finalizes equipment product support packages & maintenance plans, manages & deploys the initial sustainment capabilities, demonstrates the product support capabilities and effectiveness, and measures the product sustainment package’s effectiveness?
Production and Deployment
Which phase focuses on executing the sustainment program and on making design adjustments based on efficacy and operating conditions using systems engineering principles?
Operations & Sustainment
What set of metrics promote the desired behavior and outcome while minimizing unintended consequences?
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely
What is a good way to calculate reliability?
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
How is MTBF calculated?
Total functioning life / number of failures
How do you calculate a system’s ability to be restored or maintained?
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
How is MTTR calculated?
Total elapsed time for corrective maintenance / total number of corrective maintenance actions
What is an LCSP?
Life Cycle Sustainment Plan documents the PM’s plan for formulating, implementing, and executing the Product Support Strategy (PSS)
What is a PSS?
Product Support Strategy is the overarching strategy to meet sustainment requirements.
What is the PSSM or IPS Elements?
The Product Support Strategy Process Model provides a ready reference to steps for planning and implmenting product support strategies, including the planning and activities of the 12 integrated product support elements during system design.
Includes Product Support Management, Sustaining Engineering, and Manpower & Personnel
What is a Product Support Business Model (PSBM)
Developed to assist the PM and PSM with the numerous supportability considerations and trade-offs that take place during the development and fielding of a weapon system.
What is a Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) ?
Identification of the steps, spares and materials, tools, support equipment, personnel skill levels and facility issues that must be considered for a given repair task
What is a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)?
Starts with a particular undesierable event and provides an approach for analyszing the cause of the event
What is a Reliability Centered Maintenance Analysis (RCM)?
A logical, structured process used to determine the optimal failure management strategies for any system based upon system reliability characteristics and the intended operating context
What is the Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)?
A procedure by which each potential failure mode is analyszed to determine its effects on the system and then classified according to its severity
What is a Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)?
An analytical methodology used to assist in developing maintenance concepts and establishing the maintenance level at which componenets will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on economic/noneconomic constraints and operational readiness requirements.
What is PBL?
Performance Based Logistics (PBL) leverages best practices of both Government and Industry
