3.5 Introduction to DEF(AUST)5691
A copy of the LSA Activity Desk chart is attached.
Objectives
  • Define the Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) process
  • Identify LSA inputs and outputs
  • Outline DEF(AUST)5691 and its applicability to the LSA process
  • Describe the LSA Activity Groups
  • Describe the requirements for the planning of an LSA program
Review
Logistic Support Analysis (LSA):
  • is a selected group of analytical techniques
  • is conducted continually throughout the  Materiel Life Cycle (MLC)
  • provides the data to support improvements to the efficiency of the Materiel System
  • is a  rigorous and comprehensive analytical approach
  • determines the support items and resources required for a Materiel System
  • Applied through the LSA Process and recorded within the Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR)
LSA Activities are organised into four groups:
  • LSA Program Planning and Management (LM)
  • Functional Logistics Requirements (FL)
  • Physical Resource Requirement (PL)
  • Supportability Assessment (AS)
DEF(AUST)5691 Activity Groups:
  • The order in which the Activity Groups are presented does not reflect the sequence for the conduct of LSA
  • LSA activities are iterative and will often occur concurrently
Logistic Support Analysis aims to:
Allow logistic support considerations to influence design
Identify potential support problems and likely cost drivers (remember, the earlier they are identified and rectified, the greater the potential benefits)
Early Decisions Determine Life-Cycle Costs (LCC)
Logistic Support Analysis aims to:
  • Develop the logistic support resource requirements for the whole-of- life of the Materiel System
  • Develop a single logistics support data base to record the results of analysis (the LSAR)
