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)
