Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) processes form the basic building block for the maintenance management system, supply management system, Special Tools and Test Equipment (STTE) and Initial Provisioning of Stores. LSA is carried out in accordance with the principles defined in Def Stan 00-60.

Projected average operational hours are used as one of the main parameters on which the logistic support analysis and maintenance planning are based.

The outline LSA process consists of the following steps for each system/subsystem/equipment.

• Develop Equipment Family Tree (EFT)
• Define LSA Candidates
• Carry out Functional Failure Analysis (FFA)
• Carry out Failure Mode, Effect & Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
• Process Availability, Reliability & Maintainability Data (ARM)
• Carry out Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
• Carry out Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA)
• Calculate Life Cycle Cost

Isherwoods Systems allow the customer to specify the extent to which Life Cycle Costing will be applied and the procedures and processes that will be used to derive the information required to populate the Life Cycle Cost model.
