System Engineering Management Plan
Section 4.5 - Model Text

4.5 Logistic engineering.

Logistic engineering shall be performed as part of the mainstream engineering effort to develop and achieve a supportable and cost-effective system.
The effort shall result in the establishment of the optimum logistic requirements for the deployment and operational phases of the program.

• 4.5.1 Logistic support analyses.
  • Logistic support analyses shall be conducted leading to the definition of support needs (for example, maintenance equipment, personnel, spares, repair parts, technical orders, manuals, transportation, and handling, etc.).
    These analyses shall address all levels of operations and maintenance and shall result in requirements for support.
    Further details of the LSA activities will be contained in the 'Maintainability Program Plan'.
    
• 4.5.1.1 Maintenance engineering analysis.
  • A Maintenance Engineering Analysis (MEA) shall be conducted which facilitates:
    • systematic and complete development of maintenance requirements:
    • sorting and combining logistics data;
    • determination of the quantity of maintenance equipment, personnel, and spares;
    • inputs to system effectiveness and life cycle cost analyses in terms of required factors;
    • identification of system calibration and measuring standard requirements.
      
  • 4.5.1.2 Repair level analysis.
  • A repair level analysis shall be conducted.
    The criteria for conduct of this analysis shall be consistent with the system maintenance concept.
    
• 4.5.1.3 Logistic support modelling.
  • Evaluation of the impact of support alternatives upon system/equipment life cycle cost, availability, equipment and manpower loading, and stocking of parts shall be predicted and evaluated using modelling techniques where appropriate to the program.
    The logistic model(s) shall be compatible with and not duplicate other system models.
