S3000L - Logistic Support Analysis

Introduction

With the introduction of a new and complex technical product, all logistic requirements must be made available in a timely manner. This requires a process to ensure consideration of logistic requirements during the design of the product and support the establishment of a proper support system. This process includes a number of analysis activities concerning a wide range of logistic considerations and the careful documentation of the results of these analysis activities. The achievement of proper supportability is of crucial importance concerning operation and life cycle costs. Early consideration of logistic aspects is increasingly important with regard to both operational and economic aspects. A product that cannot be operated and maintained properly and cost effectively is not acceptable to the end user.

Purpose

The specification S3000L is designed to cover the activities and requirements governing the establishment of the LSA process.

It provides rules for the establishment of the product system breakdown and for the selection of LSA candidate items to be analyzed in detail
It describes type and methodology of performance of the specified analysis activities
It gives guidelines on how to process the results of the analysis tasks and on how to achieve a cost-efficient support concept
It covers the interface between LSA and the support engineering areas
(eg reliability, maintainability and testability)

The specification additionally describes the interface between industry (contractor) and the customer, which, when based upon contractual agreements, will provide the typical deliverables of an LSA as given in this specification.

Personnel and training requiements
