Module 9 - Life Cycle Logistics Flashcards
Key Tenets of Life Cycle Sustainment
Single-point accountability (the Program Manager (PM), with direct support from the Product Support Manager (PSM)) for developing and delivering program product support objectives, including sustainment
Development and implementation of Product Support Strategies (PSS)
Documentation of Product Support Strategies in the Product Support Plan (PSS)
Continuing and regular reviews, revalidation, and update of product support and sustainment
strategies, including the PSS and the Business Case Analysis (BCA)
product support
The package of support functions required to field and maintain the readiness and operational capability of major weapon systems, subsystems, and components, including all functions related to weapon systems readiness.

Five Product Support Analysis (PSA) Techniques
Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Analysis
Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA)
Product Support Analysis (PSA) Techniques: Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
Each potential mode is analyzed to determine its effects on the system and then classified accordimg to its severity
Identifies all single points of failure
Product Support Analysis (PSA) Techniques: Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
Start with undesirable event and provides an approach for analyzing the cause of the event
Creates a fault tree diagram of complete catastrophic failure of the product
Product Support Analysis (PSA) Techniques: Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Analysis
Process to determine the optimal failure management strategies for system based upon system reliability characteristics and intended operating context
Product Support Analysis (PSA) Techniques: Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
Analytical methodology uses to assist in developing maintenance concepts and establishing the maintenance level at which components will be replaced, repaired, or discarded.
Product Support Analysis (PSA) Techniques: Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA)
ID of steps, spares and materials, tools, support equipment, personnel skill levels as well as any facility issues that must be considered for a given repair task
Key Supportability design considerations
Logisitics footprint
Reliability
Availability
maintainability
Other logistics technologies
Supportability Design Considerations: Reliability
probability that an item can perform its intended function for a specified interval under the stated conditions
Supportability Design Considerations: Logisitics footprint
Sum total of the products and activities of all IPS Elements of life cycle product support for a weapon system required on the battlefield to support operators and maintainers for a given period of time
